"Stuff" is way overrated if it means being a slave most of your adult life

I retired in my 20s.

Everyday is Friday.

I own 100% of my time.

Those with a job have demands of them 250-300 days per years. Life is centered around the job until the day they retire.

They can never know true freedom.

True freedom is the feeling of knowing for months and years ahead that no one controls your time except for you.

Nothing you "own" requires you trade your time.

I pity those who never taste true freedom until their body and mind is worn out.

Weird as he is, Kennedy is the model of what a guy with 1 Billion family money would do.

Elite private high schools in developed areas. Harvard undergrad.

Attorney who fought for injustices personal to him and environmentalist who cured the 100% toxic wildlife in local waters to health again.

Nantucket mansion.





The best way to spend your money is on things that put resources towards your interests, which is not rotting on depreciating assets.

I can go to the gas station right now and buy a Gatorade if I want. Don’t have to check my bank account or ask my kids mom for money…how infuriating is that to a loser like you?

How are you making 10s of thousands per year if you are "retired"? Normally, retired means you no longer work or is that being too literal?

Made my goal retiring early because I couldn't imagine a job I'd love other than the NBA. At the same time I was hitting up deal sites to get stuff cheap for myself...realized I could buy in bulk and resell. Lived cheap as possible. Knew reselling was getting more competitive so hit up real estate with all profits.

Not sure if I consider that based or if I should feel bad. On one side I get what you are saying, but that's also pure "IDGAF" energy. Imagine getting your loved ones to do chit for you while you chill at home all day. Lowkey mirin that dedication to near hobo lifestyle. I've seen a lot of welfare guys with the latest cell phone and pair of Jordans and not giving a **** that they shop at the grocery store with food stamps. Couldn't be me, though. It gets old fast and you think to yourself, "This ain't a way for a man to live." But I suppose if OP and his wife are cool with it, then it doesn't really matter to me.

LOL -- don't let the stories created out of seething jealousy fool you. However, I do agree...based af if a man in 2023 can have a woman supporting him while he's retired.

It's true, tho.

In fact, the only thing that matters as you get older is still being able to take a good sh*t.

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.

To you and a majority of other people, but not to me. I'm pretty much a boomer when it comes to mobile. Rarely ever use it. Can barely watch or do anything on that tiny thing. We call computers "PC master race" for a reason.
