Exactly. At the startup I work for, we built from the old methods of bare metal, and integrate cloud services as needed. At any time though, if we are not satisfied with sed service, we're able to jump ship without headache pretty easily. As simple as spinning up a new container cluster elsewhere, migrating data, and ramping down the old. The founders were very clear on never being entrenched into a singular provider.

Step foot into Miami or LA and you'll see the gaudy extremes of wealth accumulation. I live in Fort Lauderdale for a long time, and it blew me away how miserable a vast majority of the wealthy truly were. Meeting a lot of them in my younger 20's, believing they must be "living the dream", only to later find out it was a facade most of the time, completely changed my mind on "getting rich". Living modestly with no attachment to material things is the way to be.

This happened to me in my early twenties. I'd have some symptoms, look them up, and it always led to either cancer or aneurysm. It actually made me a hypochondriac for years, and I had to just stop.
