@Moshelfinkle @DavidGreenapba @StealthQE4 This is demonstrably false on both ends.
A typical worker contributes ~$350k over their career & collects ~$400k in lifetime benefits. Both figures adjusted for inflation & sourced from the Urban Institute.

@p_millerd Are you using SparkLoop? You could offset much or all of Kit's cost if you cross-promote other newsletters.

@candrewb5 @PeterMallouk By my rough calculations, the market would need to fall by 80% or more for him to approach being "right". He's been calling for the worst crash ever for over 20 years.

[Benjamin Brandt @RetireMeASAP]

@PrakharAgr7477 @PeterMallouk He's referring to his "Rich Dad Prophecy" book, which he wrote in *2002*.
The S&P would need to fall by about 85% for him to be right.

@AffordAnything I think you're exactly right, but there's a perception issue.
From the outside in, FIRE is retire early.
From the inside out, FIRE is about financial independence.

@CraigWheatley14 @EmmyWss Not true. A-share mutual funds have been around for 30-40 years.
Anyone could invest for a one-time (per deposit) sales charge.

@Step2Logan This feels like a jinx

[Benjamin Brandt @RetireMeASAP]

@KaMiller1 @dollarsanddata You should be able to hit eject whenever you want. Within some guidelines, I suppose.

[Benjamin Brandt @RetireMeASAP]

@KaMiller1 @dollarsanddata I would rather die than live off my children. I can't imagine I'm in the minority on this.

[Benjamin Brandt @RetireMeASAP]

@SchlossmanGF 6 or 7 more performances like that & he'll be a lock for Player of the Game.

@CPAPlanner My triplets turn 8 in 8 days, can we wrap this up please?

[Benjamin Brandt @RetireMeASAP]

@sircalebhammer Pulling for you. I couldn't see Denver win #11.

@Mark_AFO @MeasureTwiceMNY What if he swapped the ETF for an index fund? Any improvements there?

[Benjamin Brandt @RetireMeASAP]

@Step2Logan First good news in a while
