I don't want to work another day in my life ever again...

"Have there ever been any bums who day trade with 3-5 thousand dollars like once a month for some chump change to get to the next camping spot?"

Yes, there almost certainly has been. Now their most recent camping spot is under a bridge near you or in their parents basement.

If you want to ensure you'll completely run out of money, then keep up that day trading - especially since you don't seem all that bright to begin with.

Get back go work and stop wasting company time on trolls ya slave!

It was only a matter of time until you invoked the "I'm not stupid, I was trolling" excuse. Surprised it took you this long. Get off Letsrun and browse a dictionary.

You're welcome.

My local tiny home builder gave me this great advice.

There are two ways to get ahead in life:

1. Make a bunch of money so you can pay people to do stuff for you.

2. Learn to do it yourself.

Also, I advise figuring out what you would do for free, and turn that into your life's work. Easy to write, hard to do.

Now, I just want to see how many times you'll get your panties in a bunch over this post.

Struck a chord much?

Ah, George Washington: Letsrun's most immoral and lazy poster. He is clearly reasonably smart but instead of using his talents to help lift others out of poverty, he does the absolute bare minimum to get by while pursuing his selfish indulgences such as writing obscure history books that will help no one.

The main thing I believe is that one has to make a commitment to doing their fair share....life will evolve properly from there. Nobody will get away with , or thrive anyway, with being a lazy and non-caring person.

So, look around you, what could doing your fair share, in way that is consistent with your values, mean?

If you can't live that way, make some sacrifices until you can.

You must be 16 and doused in liberal values.

It's pretty hard to "never have to work again" but I am in a situation where I do not work very much and overall happy and financially secure. I realized a couple years ago that I don't wanna work the rest of my life making some other guy rich, I wasn't gonna be a millionaire myself so I called it quits and moved away from suburbia / corporate slave land. i support myself with various DIY shindigs, making enough for rent, food, and marijuana . I have alot of free time and spend it hiking, learning/exploring, trips to the beach with my friends, traveling when possible and running. Im 35 and i I live like I'm 20 and I don't give a sh*t what anyone thinks of me

Good for you.

Excellent for you to realize it and have the balls to change.

All the people angered by the OP will continue to slave away making other people rich thinking that they too will one day be rich, and will never realize what you have realized. They will continue writing inflammatory rants on LR in their unhappy materialistic suburban lives.

I consider myself incredibly lucky to live in a place and work in a job where I have plenty of free time, enough money, and amazing places at my doorstep. I would sooner be a "bum" then live in suburbia going to buffalo wild wings to watch the game as the highlight of my week.

To each his own...

I was able to reduce my workload to 16 hours a week by age 30, and retire by age 36.

Here are some simple rules to abide by if you want to retire early:

6) Get a decent paying job and save, save, save. Once you have a small nest egg, it can be invested to make your living for you. Determine how much you need for housing, groceries, insurance, and utilities per year, multiply this number by 25. This is the amount you will need in your nest egg to invest (it will give you a 4% Safe Withdrawal Rate...look it up and learn about.)

Is the times 25 for a 36 year old? What is the multiple for a 25,30,40,45,50,55,60 or 65 year old?

I'm 37 years old own my house on a sub-dividable site & zero personal debt overall. I'm looking for 100,000 a year adjusted for inflation from my non real estate investments. So x 25 means I'd only need 2.5 million? That seems very low. I never thought of myself as close to early retirement.
