It's not that I misplaced this discussion on the topic ...since this discussion looks relatively dead - I thought I would just come out and say it - it's not about the SW... or at least not all year round, just a month or two months within the year - that's right, it's not the money but its rather the freedom to retire within freedom itself. Let's recognize and bow down to the creators of FIRE that laid first cobble steps paving freedom, coarse but mutable.
IOW let's enjoy the fact the each single one of us can and wil... or at least should leave, at the very first moment because they can, because of some sort of freedom that was walked upon sturdily upon those same cobble steps with heightened posture the greater wit and earlier FIRE they can achieve of the freed gifted man. The American dream did not die, it evolved, it inflated, it popped, an... well you can guess how it go... we are here.
John, do you respond to every single thread. That's why they are short. You are lazy. I beat you though; I'm lazier since I do not respond. There's a lot of me's out their, thanks for not being lazy and always responding terse but solid. Does Galt mean rock in some language?
*****, your name is a joke. I get it- why doesn't everyone else? The market goes up, the market goes down, ***** pocus. When it is down, you still won't buy... because if you did, you'd buy now because we are globalizing (is that a word) the world and the US is leading. The PE's are not only sustainable but they are mildly under priced. The dividend rate of the S&P is 1.67% - get it , buy it for the dividends. Dividends increase and rates do to from here based on future growth predictions, it will grow, am I the only one that thinks he gets it? In 10 years that percentage will be time 2 or 3, that's 3 to 4.5% ,I think that's an under stated number, because of the following. The world has no place for you to retire early if you speculate that the market will adjust itself so the whole wide world would get 6% guaranteed for FIRE. That's guaranteed that the same argument would have to be in place for the world to be in. The only reason the market will decline by your readjustment would be almost to collapse upon itself like a little sun imploding. I doubt that. Anyway, if you're right, retiring in peace will not be an option. (The US is not the US). The world market has adjusted and the US will lead it (because the workers are stupidly efficient.)
I think CEO bonuses were 40 X a year salary and now 440 X where people barely met inflation over 20 years is that it in the profits of these companies and they are ready to explode as soon as we get people managing the resources and helping government. The US is like a spring and the tension is the money on the side, balanced by desperate needs of world humanity, and the US business' being the trigger.
I'm just starting 'Four Pillars' and can't wait to be affirmed. Am I wrong? Should I not enjoy reading it - this website got me salivating. Thanks.
Ready to retire, somebody push the trigger.
Seriously.
