@MaxAnderson Congratulations!! Enjoy it all. I’m sure you know it as you already have a child.. but I can tell you, the second one grows up even faster than the first. They learn so quickly from the first. Take it all in!
@FluentInFinance Spot on. That $25 an hour stretches like taffy in Iowa, covering a house, family, and zero regrets. The twist most miss: real wealth hides in ditching the must have myth. Audit one "essential" this week, see your freedom expand. Quiet paths pay best.
@BCalusinski You mention how you intend to be “out” relatively soon or atleast long before the system collapses. I believe you; however, if someone wanted to stay in, would you in theory be safe if you managed effective collars on your holdings? Or is the system literally going to die?
@CapelLofft A quiet Church is a dying church. Kids will be kids, and everything you described? I do the same with mine, if it gets to a point where they become a distraction I’ll step out with them.
