Recently, I came out of the deep end – which I live as a deteriorating gambler and part of the parties – and I wanted to think about it. Perhaps it was not a surprise, no one, I do not think that there are severe fun amounts that are useful for your financial future. It is also possible that it is not good for your health.
At Bubble World World Bubble, where we go to bed by 11:30 pm, wake up by 5:30 am to grind for a few hours on X Factor before working or caring for children, and always paying ourselves first before spending any money, we were supposed to realize Many people do not live in this way and they actually keep it frequently, even with children!
The sacrifices we offer to achieve financial independence
As a supporter of fires since 2009, one of the common questions I get is the sacrifices that I made to free from grinding companies in 34 – and whether it is worth it. My answer: 60+-Heour WorkWeks for 13 years, skipping most of the joy and club, and carries enough pressure to develop chronic back pain and other physical diseases.
Was it worth it? definitely. The hard work and tension was all I know after college. At high school, I turned the burgers in McDonald’s and performs temporary jobs for the minimum wage. So when I had the opportunity to get much greater salaries to suffer, I made the most of it until I was burned. Fortunately, chronic pain also went as soon as the work left.
Now, after 13 years of retirement, sacrifices feel more important. If we look back, I would have pushed myself more difficult. The opportunity window for earning and growth does not remain open forever. You will grow up. You will get tired. And luck will not always be in your class.
The sacrifices you make today will deserve all this trouble in the future. Very bad, many people do not realize this fact until they are older.
Parties are like a 27 -year -old
But I must admit – sometimes I wonder how this was the case that I get this in my twenties, like some of my colleagues and colleagues. Therefore, to scratch that itch, I decided to do it on the last weekend.
On Friday, January 31, 2025, she had lunch in the city center with a friend of the American Professional League. He was talking about my friend, so we all decided to meet since he flew. After lunch, she rushed home to lead to play tennis in an internal club with many other friends because she was raining. Then I went to pick up my children from school.
After dinner and the children entered the bed, at 9 pm, I went to the place of my soft friend of the Texas Hold match. He is 27 years old and has a group of friends of the late twenties and a friend in the mid -thirties of the last century, as well as a senior citizen in 47 years.
We played the poker game, drank Red Bulls and Vodkas, and we ate cookies from homemade chocolate chips, the story spoke, and an explosion was until 2:45 am! It was a good group of players from different financial backgrounds.
Here is one of our hands with three players who go to all of them with ACE (H)/Jack (C), Pocket 2s, and ACE King is suitable. The man went with Pocket Deuces for the first time, then pushed the man with ACE jack everything for more, and finally, called the man with the appropriate ACE King.
I went to a concert next night
I crawled in bed at 3:30 am, and I was incomprehensible, at 7 am. Shattering. But today it did not stop. I took my daughter to the ballet, went to shop with my son, drew the inner part of our old house, then I took the family to my colleague’s birthday party.
At 4:40 pm, I left for the USTA match at 5 pm, which she lost in a brutal villain of three groups. Then, without losing a rhythm, she rushed home at 7:30 pm to shower, wear clothes, and go out again at 8:30 pm – this time to Sultan + Sheepard Promotion in Warvld with my wife. Tickets cost $ 165 each, and Bacardi and Cokes were $ 18 each! Yulo Bibi!
We danced and kept until one in the morning before going to bed at 2 am. For the first time in more than 10 years, I slept until 9 am, seven hours in a row! It was glorious.
It is not very productive the next day
I usually write the newsletter on Friday or at some point. But this time, I said to myself, I will do it on Sunday morning because I was lazy. The problem was, I did not expect to wake up late. I ended up publishing at 11:30 am – seven hours after the usual. Obus!
If I have a president, they will be angry. If you are charged with my news messages, subscribers may request recovery amounts. Fortunately, I do not answer anyone, and everything I write is free. Ah, the glory of your thing and your being your boss!
What made me think – how people celebrate seriously and still accomplish things? I could not be fruitful during gambling and parties until early morning in the twenties and thirties of my life, not to mention the late 1940s. The lack of productivity would have reached savings and investment. In the end, I had to work for many years to achieve all financial freedom for more parties. This does not seem worth it at all!
Due to the rainy weather, my family and I spent the rest of Sunday in lunch, doing more drawing in our old house, checking the open houses for search and inspiring interior design.
Now that I thought about it, one of the reasons for feeling confident this week was that I can rest and recover on Monday after I stopped my children at school. If you have children in school, and you do not have a daily job, then the time for the party is during the nights of the week!
Do not start from the deep end before you have enough money
Of course, you should enjoy. You do not want to sacrifice every ounce of enjoying your way to financial independence. Enjoy the trip!
But, like everything, Moderation is the key.
The people I know and who participated hard in the twenties and thirties of the age and died freely, in an surprising way, behind them financially. Some have family funds to refer to, but most of them will need to work for decades. It is their choice.
If you want to celebrate hard and calm smoking, or work from home to play pickled during the day, or take many years, this is your privilege. However, at least try to reach the minimum investment threshold amount (MIT) first. Once your investments can generate more than your daily work revenue ~ 70 % of time, you will have a much better safety network if workers ’layoff or poor performance.
Competition is only to get fierce due to globalization and artificial intelligence. The best balance may be the celebration of moderation until you reach the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the celebration shortly after that, and you go to Bandar only once you get enough negative income to cover all your expenses. This is the most intelligent way.
You will not change greatly from you after achieving fire
Once you reach financial independence, you may realize that excessive parties were never fun as they look. You may think you will finally have time for all the wild adventures you take, but in reality, life will likely continue as before – exactly with joy and ease.
Go to Bandar once or even once a month is a good time, but every week? This becomes fast. Do you see 20 countries in Europe for a period of time for a period of three months? This also begins to get older because as soon as you see one Gothic church, I have seen them all.
It is funny how we are chasing what we do not have, just to take it as a Muslim by it as soon as it is within reach. If you retire early from a big city, you may feel that you are actually easier than feeling bored – there is a lot for you Be able to Do, and this favorite paradox can be exhausted.
For me, one weekend every quarter is more than enough. These days, I prefer to enjoy a great meal, watch an attractive show, or get lost in a good book at home.
Wow, I really look like an old cat. So … where is the next party in?!
