Agreed. In my early 20s, I spent a year backpacking around the world. I was fortunate enough to have the money, which I could have instead invested in property. Now I'm in my late 30s, I struggled to buy a home, I have a big mortgage, I'm getting by alright but I have very little in terms of investments.
I don't regret my choices for a second. My year spent travelling was the best experience of my life. It defined who I am. I learnt so much. I met so many wonderful people. I discovered so many amazing places. Wouldn't have been the same, had I deferred it until later in life (and many older travellers that I met told me as much).
I'm not an expert in Seneca, but from reading the article, I think he'd argue that time is much more valuable than money.
