About Me
I retired at 34. I can teach you how
You don’t need to be 65 to retire. You don’t need to be a multimillionaire. You don’t need to be a tech bro, or a lawyer, or a well-off medical professional. (Though that would definitely help!) Industry gurus like Suze Orman claim you need at least $5 million (and ideally $10 million) to quit the rat race. In my opinion, that’s overkill.
This blog is about my own strategy. Have you heard of the FIRE movement? (Financial Independence, Retire Early.) Or maybe its offshoot, lean-FIRE? If yes, you’re my target audience. If not, but if you’d like to retire young, then you’re also my target audience — you just don’t know it yet.
No matter where you live, who you are, or where you come from, there’s always a way to improve your financial situation. (Fair warning: that might not be easy.) This blog deals with grand strategies like making 5-year plans and funding your retirement accounts, as well as smaller, tactical stuff like saving money on entertainment, cooking fast and frugally (don’t worry, it’s not all lentils), and enjoying life while having fun. (Did you know that video games are 100 times more cost-efficient than movies?) If you’re not familiar with things like index funds and geographic arbitrage, stay tuned and read on!
