It gives you alot of time and peace to do your own thing. I like to read, game, research. And so a boat is like the ultimate manscape room because there's little distraction. But that's for when I'm traveling through the seas to reach my destinations. Those things are something I would do in my free time anyways and so its the best way to kill time when traveling around to somewhere I'm needing to be.

I wouldn't say I'm rich, but I'm comfortable. I like my work though, even though I do multiple things.

Wake up usually 5-6am, coffee, stretching routine, misc/internet a bit. Work on business #1 which is totally virtual for an hour or two.
Usually business #2 kicks in about 10am, go back and forth between meetings with that and business #3. My ADHD helps with this. Have breaks through the day for eating and sometimes some PS5. I also nap daily and work out on my breaks depending when I can.
Latest I finish work depends on the day, like tonight it's 6:30pm but on Wednesdays it's 3 so I can pick up my kids from school. Fridays are usually done about 2-3 as well.

Intredasting. What kind of businesses are you running?

Also, I thought misc was basically tradies and indian telemarketers/scammers.

I'm pretty well off I suppose. I wake up at 4 and feed my pigs, go to the gym at 5, get back around 6:30, watch my baby for an hour so my wife can get some uninterrupted sleep. Feed my goats, chickens and dogs at 7:30. I work a normal 8-4 job so I do that. After 4 I just hang out with my family. In the warmer months we work on our garden and orchard, in the winter we stay inside and do whatever.

That's honestly what I'm working towards - acquiring a little hobby farm and caring for animals, possibly unwanted or neglected ones.

If you're willing to post pics of your animals, that would be highly welcome.

I'm not rich by any means, but I'm doing OK.

I wake up at about 8:30am, shower eat something, roll into the office at about 10am, work on whatever I need to, I usually skip lunch, roll out between 4-5 depending on how much I had to get done. Get home, go to the gym, cook something or have my wife cook something, spend time with my wife, watch some TV, play some video games, and go to sleep at about 1am.

My wife handles the managing of our restaurant, food truck, and rentals.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Those goats are some cute little kunts. Would hug/10.

How much work are they? I have a flock of hens and manage my coop daily. How would it compare to that kind of experience?

I wake up, drink 2 Reign energy drinks, answer some emails, go to the gym, go hang at my office, stop at the re development site for a few min, go home and answer more emails, then whatever I want for the rest of the day.

From spring to fall they are basically no work at all aside from milking the mommas after I've weened the kids. I'll trim their hooves every few months, make sure they have fresh water and toss out a mineral block every so often, they are on pasture so they just do their thing. In the winter we reduce the herd down to just the breeding does and the males we will be slaughtering over the winter, we eat and sell them. In the winter we feed them the 1-ton bales so every few weeks I just grab a bale, with my tractor, and toss it under a lean-to so it stays out of the weather.

Kidding is usually pretty easy to, unless they kid in the winter I don't do much aside from putting the doe in an enclosure by herself. If it's cold out, lower than single digits, I'll go out and dry off the kid and maybe put a heat lamp out for a couple days.

They are awesome for yard clean-up. We have a bunch of fruit trees so in the fall after we've harvested all we are going to we let them out and they get pretty much everything. We let the pigs and chickens out next and between them there isn't really anything left on the ground. I would keep the animals just for that purpose.

The pigs are awesome for clearing areas for garden plots too. We just create a little enclosure with hot wire and don't feed them much, they'll clear everything down to the roots and manure the area as they go, then it just takes a quick pass with a tiller and you're done.

Man that sounds awesome. That's exactly what I envision. I've always had a soft spot for farm animals. I love gardening and grow a whole bunch of plants, trees, flowers, and crops on my property, and I raise hens, but I always wanted to take it to the next level. It's just tough to find a property that happens to have a decent house. There are many hobby farm properties in this area that are beautiful, mixed flat land and woods, creeks, mountains, etc, but the houses are unfortunately pretty hideous and old.

How much acreage to do you?

Thanks for sharing, by the way. Would tenderly rape thy angus but I'm on spread.

The same as most people's: I work, cook, train, spend time with my wife and daughter etc

Apart from the nature of the work being different and my home being more expensive, my life hasn't really changed with having more money.

Boats, planes, supercars, designer clothes, exclusive restaurants/bars/clubs etc don't interest me.

Becoming a dad changed my lifestyle; become rich didn't. I'd rather spend my time reading to my daughter and feeding the ducks with her or playing with the dog, than being in meetings.
Screw nature; my body will do what I DAMN WELL tell it to do!

The only dangerous thing about an exercise is the person doing it.

They had the technology to rebuild me. They made me better, stronger, faster......

Definitely do it as soon as you can. It is a very fulfilling lifestyle. Knowing where your food comes from and having a steady supply incase chit hits the fan is an invaluable feeling. We have 7 acres right now. Land up here is crazy expensive, at least 200k an acre right now for unimproved land so we are hoping to sell in a few years and move to the missouri/oklahoma area and set up a proper farm. I inherited/bought this place from my grandparents for 400k 4 years ago with the promise that I wouldn't sell it until they pass away, they are both in their early 90's with a myriad of health problems so it shouldn't be too much longer.

I'm not sure what your background and skillset are but if you are planning to go that route I would start learning some skills like welding, woodworking, preserving food, plumbing etc... Depending on the area you want to live look into different gardening techniques like no-til, using black plastic, mulching etc.. We have semi-rocky soil so for things like potatoes we use a no-til method, basically make a small 3-4 inch trench, plant the potatoes and cover them with straw, when the potatoes sprout we are always covering the plant so just the tip is poking up, repeat until harvest. Since we live in a colder area we set up a lot of hoop houses, which are basically mini-green houses, to extend our growing season. We grow melons, squash, pumpkins and corn using black plastic and we do a lot of companion planting for our other crops.

I am well off and continue to become more successful every year. Should be buying the business I work by the end of the year.

630am wake
7am eat & check emails to getr a jump start
8-6 work, I don't have time for many breaks & just sneak in small breaks when I can.
6-8 workout or time with kids
8-10 relax and or check emails continue working as I deal with plenty of suppliers in Europe.

repeat.
I get off on business though, it's my passion it just so happens my passion makes me a lot of money and will continue to do so.

I am a writer, so that's job #3 that was a side gig for fun but now pays a decent amount in my sleep. My other two businesses are customer facing but appointment based and done 70% online, so technically I'm only "working" 20-25 hours a week or so but my hourly rate is such that I'm very comfortable at that amount.

Goal by the time I'm 50 (a year from now) is to have most of my business virtual and also have passive income that will at least pay for shelter. I'm most of the way there already. I have two kids so the long term goal is when they are grown and at university (when I'm about 60) I'll live somewhere else with a lower COL and visit frequently.

I wake up at about 8:30am, shower eat something, roll into the office at about 10am, work on whatever I need to, I usually skip lunch, roll out between 4-5 depending on how much I had to get done. Get home, go to the gym, cook something or have my wife cook something, spend time with my wife, watch some TV, play some video games, and go to sleep at about 1am.

My wife handles the managing of our restaurant, food truck, and rentals.
why do you go to an office if you're a business owner?

In the warmer months we work on our garden and orchard, in the winter we stay inside and do whatever.
What time do you go to bed at to get up for 4AM? Finishing work at 4PM sounds fine until you add the getting up at 4AM part...

I inherited/bought this place from my grandparents for 400k 4 years ago with the promise that I wouldn't sell it until they pass away, they are both in their early 90's with a myriad of health problems so it shouldn't be too much longer.

I'm not sure what your background and skillset are but if you are planning to go that route I would start learning some skills like welding, woodworking, preserving food, plumbing etc... Depending on the area you want to live look into different gardening techniques like no-til, using black plastic, mulching etc.. We have semi-rocky soil so for things like potatoes we use a no-til method, basically make a small 3-4 inch trench, plant the potatoes and cover them with straw, when the potatoes sprout we are always covering the plant so just the tip is poking up, repeat until harvest. Since we live in a colder area we set up a lot of hoop houses, which are basically mini-green houses, to extend our growing season. We grow melons, squash, pumpkins and corn using black plastic and we do a lot of companion planting for our other crops.
Thanks, will keep these points in mind!

Goal by the time I'm 50 (a year from now) is to have most of my business virtual and also have passive income that will at least pay for shelter. I'm most of the way there already. I have two kids so the long term goal is when they are grown and at university (when I'm about 60) I'll live somewhere else with a lower COL and visit frequently.
What kind of stuff do you write? Always like writing myself.
