Image a life where every day you:

- sleep 8 hours
- go on a moderate 2-hour hike
- lounge around for a few hours
- pick up your kids from school and play with them
- eat a delicious dinner

This is WHY people retire early.

I really love calculators like this: https://t.co/QJDhGUQVn0

I want to make one for Hampton or other projects.

Not sure what it'll be yet, but what are the easiest tools to make these on?

Just excel?

@NeerajKA You must have never been to Grocery Outlet then

@dorse054 I'm 6'3", probably about 185# right now, I hope to one day get as big as you at your leanest! 😅 I lift 4-5 days per week but hiking and MTB on the weekends burn a lot of calories

[WalletBurst @walletburst]

@dorse054 Just curious Nick, why settle down in the bay area?

Asking as someone who grew up in Wisconsin and currently lives in Mountain View.

People think billionaires live like kings.

But, they don't realize that we are already ALL living like kings.

We eat gourmet meals, have entertainment at our fingertips, watch sports for leisure, and travel to faraway lands.

You are ALREADY a king, you just never knew it.

I’ve paid $0 in taxes from 2021 to 2023.

But I didn't cheat.

And I'm not scamming the government.

The tax code favors early retirees. Here is how anyone can do it:

Pro-tip: buy an office chair used.

The graves of hundreds of companies are littered with old office supplies that they must get rid of. I got my Herman Miller Aeron from a failed crypto startup in Boulder for like 200$.

I’m finally revealing the secret to how I became a millionaire by 31 with:

❌ no lottery
❌ no inheritance
❌ no crypto trading

Here it is:

✅ I married a FHW (frugal hot wife)

A FHW:

✅ does their own nails
✅ cooks meals at home
✅ doesn’t care about brands

Here is the breakdown of the $60k budget my wife and I had last year

Our household income was $400k

We saved & invested the difference💰

True wealth is not:

• Big yachts.
• Private planes.
• Red Lamborghinis.

True wealth is:

• Going on a hike at 9am on Wednesday.
• Seeing a movie at 12pm on Friday.
• Sleeping in any day you want.

Here's your annual reminder that because of Vail and Alterra's duopoly, it's cheaper to plan a week-long ski trip in Switzerland than Colorado.

I attribute a lot of my success to running every major career decision through this test from age 20 onward:

Which route will increase the odds of me being able to do whatever I want with 100% my time when I’m 35 yrs old?

@sweatystartup The Rockies are great but IMO the Sierra are better. Yosemite, Lake Tahoe and Inyo NF are some of the most beautiful places on earth

@jayofeng Makes sense, young people are starting with a much lower NW, so as they contribute to savings their NW will increase by a greater percent than older people
