I'm not a big fan of the “Small Action Steps” list. Although it's fun, at least as long as they are short I wouldn't find such a list very helpful 🙂
.
- I know very well that for people who are just entering the personal finance topic, such listings can be extremely motivating and empowering, so they are very useful in the transition/recruitment phase. But once you see the principles behind the list, they become less useful and almost trivial.
- With that in mind, this is my secret to retire early.
- Ordinary personal finance is very limited and cannot consider discussing retirement early or obtaining any financial freedom; it will mainly tell you how to get promotions, develop a retirement plan, repay mortgages and car loans, and get benefits and other things that get people to work. To understand how you can adapt to larger plans, read books on economics (such as McConnell and Brue) and ecology (such as Richard Brewer) and try to apply these ideas to your own life.
- Everything you need to know about functional minimalism can be learned from a good boat and a blue ocean cruise. Some of them cruise the world on their own boats, down to $6,000 a year.
Do the main thing that is at least different from everyone else (e.g., I don't have a driver's license). If you are retired for 20 years before everyone else, you might as well get used to being different. Always leave your comfort zone. Remember: Comfort is nothing compared to freedom (at least for small percentiles). - 😛 [from] ).
Find a neutral hobby and make money skillfully on it (you need to make it money before it happens about 1000 hours). Everything I've made money after retirement
My career starts with hobbies. It doesn't matter if you didn't make a lot or earn nothing at all. It is important that there is a reasonable opportunity for both money and connection. For example, motorboat skiing is disqualified, but knitting is in progress.
PS: Sorry for being a bad blogger recently. We are busy reducing our dependence on oil imports for new power plant designs, making seven-digit R&D proposals for new power plant designs.
