@AlaskanRock @leo_szac I sort of agree to an extent. I house hacked for 8 of 10 years, it was incredibly powerful, but the power diminishes quickly after the first few years.

I also ran a large business and built substantial other wealth, and the last house hack was a 5 bedroom half duplex.

@Support - I need to update my email address. Can you please allow me to do so?

@realEstateTrent There are many 40-something 401k millionaires who are American heroes, and will pay down the national debt for us in their old age.

@dollarsanddata Are you saying I should have brought cases of coors light to the pregame instead natural light?

[Scott Trench @ScottTrenchX]

@dollarsanddata I agree, with the caveat that choosing, irrevocably, from a position of strength, with options, is far, far superior to being locked in for external reasons,

It’s the difference between starting a business, because you chose to, and working for an employer because you must.

@DadisFIRE @theficouple @AffordAnything @JLCollinsNH @mrmoneymustache In the last year, I've been spending a lot more time on data.

Perhaps the broader FI community is very different than BP Money.

Perhaps FIRE "ought to be" zero active income.

But, the BP Money community is clear, and I serve them.

[Scott Trench @ScottTrenchX]

@DadisFIRE @theficouple @AffordAnything @JLCollinsNH @mrmoneymustache The BP Money community is split - some will start businesses, some intend to never earn another dollar, and some are on the fence.

I think all choices are valid and welcome, and personally intend to start, build, and advise various businesses over the next 30 years.

@portabella My 3 year old LOVEs Jalen Hurts. Go Birds!

I defend my stance that forgoing the 401k (but taking the match) for 2-5 years can be a life altering positive decision with very small tax drag at https://t.co/k7AaS79UZy

@WereSo8ack Sorry - I was attempting to communicate that the CEO should have been fired 5 years ago.

[Scott Trench @ScottTrenchX]

Does anyone feel sorry about this?

Seems to me this guy should have been fired 5 years ago, right after his CEO was replaced.

[Scott Trench @ScottTrenchX]

@theandering We’ll find out. I think you are dead wrong. You think I am.

I bet this transition is going to play out very suddenly and disruptively over the next 10-15 years.

Can anyone give feedback?

@MartyTheElder I think it’s really important that a handful of major cities continually carry out this experiment. It’s powerful learning for the rest of the country, and what makes America so unusually durable.

@dollarsanddata @omzidar @elonmusk Your argument for Gate’s net worth being far higher was super compelling and insightful.
