I figured that out at a very early age.
Which is why my goal since 16 years old was to figure out a way to retire by 50. I worked hard every day of my life to make that happen.
5 years in, at 55, I ain’t gonna lie, it was life changing and worth every drop of blood sweat and tears (which from 16 to 50 were often considerable). Yea, like everyone I’m gonna get old, but damn every day of my 50s so far have been heaven on earth, and god willing to have 25, 30 or more years of this is amazing and I’m grateful for that every single day.
The model of work til you’re almost 70, then die at 77 never seemed like a good deal to me. Even as a teenager looking ahead.
