There's more useful things to do between 10am and 12pm than between 2am and 4am imo. Catch more daylight, spend more time outside. For me waking up between 9am and 10am is the sweet spot and then going to bed between midnight and 1am.

Go for a morning walk in the forest or to the supermarket/bakery to buy some fresh bread every day for a nice breakfast. What are you doing during those night hours? Just spend time watching tv and chit?

I do have the freedom to make my bedtime and wake time whatever I want it to be. Maybe I'll spend a few weeks getting up earlier and then go back to sleeping late.....whatever the case may be I'm getting my 8-10 hours.

Vacations are simply the carrot dangled in front of the worker bee to keep them working their life away for 50 years. They need to feel like they are escaping the grind.
Well, that's another thing. At least with me, I don't dread going into work, or anything like that. I rarely work more than 6 hour days, and I take vacation whenever I want. If I'm being honest, I don't do all that much. Even today, I got to my office after 10am, and I am already on my way home.

I don't see the point in saying you're retired, but then being on a strict budget.
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.

I have the same freedom brah. I think waking up a bit earlier give you a better life experience overall, that's why I'm giving you that advice.

I wasn't really on a strict budget...I just adapted money to fit the life I wanted to live.

Getting up, getting ready, driving to work, working for 6 hours doing nothing, talking to coworkers, driving home? No thanks! You couldn't pay me enough to make that part of my life.

You can retire for life with 15k a year passive income.

My father was a cop, he made 20k a year and we were 4 in the household. So, unless you are a weak fuk that can't stand adversity... you could easily live on a 15k passive income.

Haha you may not be wrong...I just need that freedom. Being forced to wake up and go to bed at certain times just seems like something for a child to me.

You can’t eat at any restaurant you want without caring about price

You can’t vacation at any hotel you want without caring about price

You can’t go on yachting trips

You can’t drive whatever car you desire

You can’t live in a nice house in a desirable location

Your slim retirement severely limits your options

Keep eating ramen noodles and chit, and proceed to get wiped out on the very first financial hiccup that you encounter.
Why would a financial hiccup wipeout someone with basically no bills and a top 10% net worth? You're silly. Pick a vacation spot anywhere in the world and I'll meet you there for a week...we can put $20,000 on it...if I show we meet at a casino and you watch me spend it.

I eat out basically every meal. It gets boring though. My favorite food in the world is southern cookin'...okra, yams, squash, beans, greens...stuff like that. I can eat it basically everyday.

I can vacation at any hotel. But why do I need expensive vacations...to get away from what exactly?

I don't want to go yachting.

I can drive anywhere I want. Put some money on it and I'll meet you any time any place.

My house is perfectly suited for me. Why should I desire any nicer? Is that what keeps people in the rat race for 50 years?

How am I limited in any way? I can get a job tomorrow and have $50k+/year to blow on whatever I want. Will I? Hell no.

You're just a talker...such a common plebeian on the internets.

Let me call up Mr. Noseberg so I can work 40 years striving to get into the top 5% net worths so ransoms on the internet think better of me 😂

In America, a bad accident or health issue (cancer, random accident) will clean you right out. Insurance and healthcare here are scams

In other words...90-95% of us can be cleared right out given just the right circumstance? That's not enough motivation to put me in the rat race for life.

So you’ve settled for a mediocre life

There’s nothing wrong with that but the question asked was what can you not do and I answered

Did you ever figure out how many investment properties you own currently, or are you still confused about what "investment property" means?
I already put an offer on the table for you to visit me and verify...but like always your just a internet plebeian that talks.

it's best to not waste your mental energy arguing with crabs that are trying to pull you back in the bucket. You got out of the rat race. you are free now.


these idiots all have debt up to their eyeballs financing their life style then suddenly find themselves attempting suicide at 50 when they are bankrupt without any prospects. LMFAO


don't be them. if you're happy who cares what these crabs think.

I have no idea who you are, so no I won’t risk my identity and possibly my life to try and impress some guy on the internet. I don’t need that much validation
