Nice ideology. I took it way further: Investing everything on myself, and allowing myself to splurge using only 20% of what I earn

Sounds perfect!
Invest in soft skills more than hard skills.
From time to time, try to change this ratio to understand how to manage finance and how money works. This way you will be able to generate even more money by investing in other mediums such as stocks, crypto, metaverse etc.
And the percentage you are investing in yourself will become lesser in comparision to what you are earning. But that percentage will be enough. Because a person cannot learn a lot when he is busy, so try to learn how to manage time, money, and other aspects of life. Focus on soft skills more than hard skills.
Hope this gives you even more broader look over this whole concept.
