I think everyone should track their expense and measure it on Bitcoin.

I started tracking my annual expense against Bitcoin since 2023. The numbers will be way lower since I live in South East Asia.

My annual expense in 2023 was around $11,000. Bitcoin closed at $42,272 - that’s 0.26 BTC.

My annual expense last year was around $14,000. It increased due to frequent fun travels. Bitcoin closed at $93,557 - that’s 0.149 BTC.

Even though my expense went up 27% from leisure, I’m still able to tell that my stacks made my life 43% cheaper. Makes me even more motivated to stack more!

Of course, there will be fluctuations along the way. For example, if Bitcoin drops to $60k, my 2024 annual expenses will be 0.202 BTC, still lower than 2023. So, I’ll still feel good and less emotional, at least while I continue to stack.

I would recommend everyone to do it as well. It also helps to look less at the price action of Bitcoin so you can focus on touching some grass and live your life outside charts.
