~10k per month after tax, mortgage mostly paid at $1,400. Save the rest into retirement. Keep a large amount of cash for the next asset price crash.

Net Income: $7.5k per month. This assumes no overtime, no bonuses, no holidays, not a month with 3 paychecks. This is also after 401k match contribution.

Net Savings: $3900

Formula: $1800 rent, $350 for internet+phone+electric, $450ish for groceries to be safe, no restaurants, no major events, $100/mo for subscriptions+gym, $200 for insurances, $50 gas, $350 misc+emergencies, $300 alcohol+weed = $3600

I did for 12 years after I moved out. Just got divorced last year so I finally sold it to recoup some liquid cash. But it was good cash flow and good write-offs, but when the market hit the crazy highs I decided time to sell it and simplify.

Also at play is I thought at one time investment properties would be a good retirement plan, but its now looking like increasing my ownership in my company is going to be the way to go, and I have the opportunity to buy another chunk in the next couple years from a guy retiring so a couple hundy Gs from the rental house was better in my bank account than tied up in the house.

The other thing I am going to do is fractional investing in commercial real estate deals, primarily multifamily, where I am just putting up some cash up front in an LLC that 10-15 people put money in (all the people are all good dudes in my industry), then that money under one entity becomes equity for a deal...and that is managed by someone else for a fee and I don't have to do anything but get mailbox money. I have some friends making a killing do it and they've asked me to join in when I am ready, which is going to be their next deal I think. Can do it starting around $50k per deal, they will raise a million or so then take that to the multifamily developer. Its a neat way to get into development with small chunks at a time in a bunch of different deals for minimal risk.

Syndicate deals, yeah those are good if you can trust all parties involved. Problem is if you 1031-up 10 years down the line is everyone involved onboard

Once a year, my accountant looks at my expenditure for the previous year and we pay me the gross amount necessary to produce a net of my expenditure + 10%.
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......

"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."
