Hi everybody!!
First time visiting this site. But been into financial freedom as an intention for many years.
Okay my deets:
- 50 years old
~ $590k net worth ($120k investment home equity, $120k stocks, $350k blue-chip crypto)
~ $550/mo passive income ($250/mo rental home, $100/mo stock dividends, $200/mo crypto)
~ $2400/mo retirement income now vested if I stop working today, starting Age 67 (social security and work pension)
- No personal debt (except monthly ccard balance and investment home mortgage)
- $200k/yr salary (w/ bonus and 401k match really $225k)
- $5000/mo expenses (rent $2400, food $600, gym/massage/therapy $1000, phone/utilities $250, everything else $750... I live in Hoboken after all)
- No wife (that I know of), no children, have a gf who doesn't want to get married, rent my apartment
- Have a LOT of life experience. Everest base camp, all 7 continents, triathlon runner until a nasty injury, spent a month with a shaman in the Indonesian rainforest, spent 3 months galloping around South America, started many companies and most but not all of them failed, nearly got married 5 different times, etc.
I've wanted to be financially free ever since I read The Richest Man in Babylon at age 30.
Made some stupid financial decisions at ages 40 & 43...but am in a good place now.
What would my life look like?
- I want to never have to work, another day for the rest of my life.
- I want to take 6-12 months off...and do nothing.
- I want to make a shitton of money. Businesses, investments. Don't yet know what that looks like. Just feel I haven't proven myself to my own satisfaction.
- I want to meditate in a cave in tibet for 30 days at a time, visit friends I have in Germany and France, spend 3 months in a thatched hut learning a language that's not too popular (such as Vietnamese), and if there's somebody I want to meet, I want to be able to fly anywhere in the world to meet them.
- I want to stay healthy.
- Wanted to start a family, but never met the right girl. Now, at age 50, not sure.
- I want to give back. I want to help a LOT of people.
Some of my core values:
- I value freedom over luxury.
- I absolutely dread the corporate caricature culture - I'm too original of a personality. But, I am working at such a place........
- I dislike the dishonesty that seems to be prerequisite for any kind of info marketing, self help etc. business
- I really DON'T do well with financial pressure. Grew up in poverty, etc.
- I value long term and deep friendships.
So........the big question is this:
Would I be happy if I retired today? (Well early 2022, to spread out my tax bill...)
Thank you for reading!
