When I was 32 I quit my job, sold everything, and traveled the country in an RV with my fam for over 2 years

We were not millionaires. Or financially independent

Our net worth wasn't even $500k

But we knew we could do this without wrecking our future

Here's the path we took🧵

Dad Hack: Drive a beat up car

As a dad, I have less than zero capacity to care about how my car looks

So my dad-mobile (minivan) came scratched up when I bought it

- Cheap
- Zero stress
- No one will ever steal it
- No idea if I get new dents
- "Struggle Bus" sticker is meta

@JLCollinsNH @awealthofcs Love @awealthofcs take on basically everything investing. Perspective is so important for investors....but it's not sexy.

"Bitcoin is designed to be self-custodied and used independent of traditional financial markets—and spot Bitcoin ETFs are simply wrapping self-sovereign assets into the very same market it was designed to avoid."

- Me, in an upcoming article for @GOBankingRates

[Jacob Wade @RoadmapMoney]

"But—in a way—spot Bitcoin ETFs undermine the mission of Bitcoin in the first place. Bitcoin was created in response to the Great Financial Crisis and to give owners access to a trustless monetary system that doesn’t rely on government or third-parties to facilitate transactions"

You should have a healthy distrust of these industries:

- Healthcare
- Education
- Technology
- Financial services

@SMB_Attorney $2.5 Million ($100k/yr). But requires paid off house.

$5 Million is my "never think about money again" number.

@Hasizzel @WhiteBoardFin Except the spread on RH is no good 😕 and orders are externally routed so they can earn rebates. Shady stuff...

@WalletHacks But there are so many options for high fee alternative investment managers to take advantage of you! You're missing out!
