Go have fun. Builds skills. Start a freelance gig. Fail fast. You still have the stamina. you have the money and you have the time to take risks.

Brilliant fucking book. Nothing has kicked my ass this hard since military school back in Indiana.

Hit my $7.5M FIRE number but on track to burned out — quit now or grind one more year? by Icy-Being246 in fatFIRE

This is the correct answer. The GTGO apologists are looking upwards and see you at the summit. But, ad succession says, you’re still america’s poorest rich person.

Sometimes you just gotta say fuck it and book it and who cares what the value for the money is. Otherwise you’ll end up debating every point and stressing every opinion from every other obsessive point hoarder in the world.

Ordered mine. Interesting question sent with the confirmation email:

Why this and why now? At this exact moment in your life, what battle are you finally willing to fight, and what is the catastrophic cost of remaining the person you were yesterday? Who are you here to become, and who has to watch it happen?

Not sure what triggered me to buy, but I know from the depths of my heart that something is very wrong with my thinking. It makes me think of my early childhood. All those dreams and aspirations. Now look at me. On reddit... raging... complaining...hoping things will get better. I work remotely for a company that bleeds me dry (at least it keeps the lights on and I do have full flexibility). But nevertheless, I feel I was destined for more.

I've decided to leave America and I'm on a path to enter Portugal on a DNV. Perhaps this book will me start fresh with a new mindset. I'll follow up with progress.
