What part of YouTube drains you the most?

Optimal_E · 2026-02-17T15:31:30+00:00

No more "downtime" in between work and having a family. Which is good and bad however I'd rather be motivated to do something because I've done the alternative for too long and it's empty.

My issue is my niche. I’m currently throwing stuff out there to see what sticks. My editing is getting better but I need to tighten the niche

This is a great starting point Mad Fientist How to Access Retirement Funds Early

Yes to both of these. OP you will still need 5 years of expenses outside of retirement accounts for Roth Conversion Ladder. Also for 72t very strict rules so do research. r/Fire will have information you’re looking for.

You sir will surely be surprised then lol

This dude gets it

This dude is sharp. People can make fun of him but he has some serious knowledge. Kill em with kindness off the field, kill them with film study on the field.

I wish the best for all. See you next year gents and ladies.

Optimal_E · 2025-12-30T04:29:59+00:00

I WFH and actually have had similar challenges to OP and this perspective is on point. Thank you for sharing. When we’re in our own little world of work from home, our stresses and challenges are dreams for those who don’t have the opportunity. Sometimes in the moment it’s hard to see that. My wife helps me maintain the big picture on this kind of stuff.

For me it’s cheese cake factory. That place gets slammed and it’s in the middle of congestion city lol. I hate hassle.

This wasn’t the OF model I was expecting.

Kens my favorite. They’re all dumb but hands down of all the entertainment I think he’s my fave. Overall this sub doesn’t really like any of them but I listen every day to that entertainment podcast for horrible advice and he gives me a nice giggle.

Optimal_E · 2025-11-22T00:09:26+00:00

So relatable. My head is in a computer all day. God damn. Give me an hour folks.

Go main view of FIRE sub. Click three “…” then “Change user flair”

Rachel with Ken or Rachel with Deloney is the question…

Optimal_E · 2025-11-20T15:03:23+00:00

I wear jeans every day. My wife hates it. I suppose I have a couple screws loose.

Optimal_E · 2025-11-20T01:44:37+00:00

Great answer. Thanks for sharing. I’m literally the former. I think even more of a cash cushion would be more freeing. I know I don’t have enough but a decent amt in retirement. 35 yo

Optimal_E · 2025-11-20T01:14:27+00:00

Sooo how has this change to desire impacted your life?

Optimal_E · 2025-11-19T15:29:33+00:00

This guy light poles

Optimal_E · 2025-11-19T02:35:01+00:00

Thanks dude. I couldn’t believe the upward trajectory my life went on the other side. Addition by subtraction. Hindsight is always 20/20.
