HI there! Awesome post! Especially the agonizing tradeoff between going now and enjoying the compounding benefits earlier, and going later and getting better material. Obviously, I came down on the side of the first option, but this may not be optimal for everyone. Minor point: 'Rationality and the Reflective Mind' is by Stanovich, not by Kahneman.

(BTW, this is Tarn from the workshop)

Fixed the part about Stanovich/Kahneman, thanks!
