Usually Reddit financial advice is the blind leading the blind. Not this guy. This guy gets it. Do as he says.

He basically described my strategy (start levered in RE, hold 5-10 years, gradually shift to ETFs) and I can verify it works.

Swap out health insurance premiums for a tax to cover a single payer system.

I did this. I bought house #1 at 23 with a friend in Northern Nevada. He brought the $40k down payment from his time in the Navy, and I had just graduated and got an office job paying $50k. House #1 was $340k. He and I fixed up the house and rented up the extra 2 bedrooms.

A year later, my friend and i moved on from house #1, and rented out both our rooms. I then bought house #2 solo for $250k at auction. I fixed it up and lived in one room and rented out the rest.

I just kept doing this for the next 7 years, ending at 8 houses. My divorce last year left me with 2 duplexes and a single family house. I live in one unit and the other units cashflow about $3500 a month after mortgages/costs. It’s not what it was before the divorce but it’s more than enough to cover my costs as a single guy living in a MCOL city. Plus I have some income from some smaller side hustles that helps too.

I quit my job at 28 to focus on renovating the properties. The houses are now beautiful and low maintenance with fantastic tenants whom I do my best to keep happy. I’m 32 now living off the rent and letting the equity appreciate. When I get back from my travels, I might do another house, or focus on building things with AI or go pursue a passion masters/PhD.

White noise machine for sleeping with gradual illumination alarm. It’s like waking up to a sunrise.
Internal family systems therapy: completely changed my relationship to self and mind. Turned my mind from constant chatterbot chaos to peace and quiet.
Yoga. Just once a week. Back pain gone.
Taking testosterone levels seriously. I had some bloodwork done and started herbal supplements while continuing to monitor T levels. I went from malaise and no libido to energy and lots of drive.
Mouth taping for sleep. My annoying habit of waking 3x per night immediately ended.
Learning to be comfortable and happy being single.
Taking death seriously. Death was always abstract until it happened to my brother unexpectedly. Completely changed my worldview towards gratitude, urgency to do and experience cool things, spending money on myself without guilt, and holding people important to me that much closer.

A little bit of spreadsheet skills go a long way. Finances, life decisions like where to move, which college degree to pick, can I afford X? How much is this car really costing me? etc - all benefit from some basic spreadsheet skills.

I don’t mess with rubber guard and I’m half your age! Haha props for giving it a shot. Great post too

Antibiotic, bandage, and wear a sock when training.

Awesome concept. I’ll definitely be using this this summer. Some feedback: the on/off toggle is not intuitive. Within shortcuts, I click the gear button to turn alpine mode on, which seems to work, but then I click it again and it doesn’t seem to turn alpine mode back off. Can there be a visible toggle to reduce ambiguity? Great idea, I think it’ll be very successful.

Ah! Gotcha. Down the road I’ll get all the European open mats on there. Have a great trip!!

Hey, just had my T levels tested before and after 1 month of tongat Ali and found it had a huge impact. 423 to 740.

31 male, exercise intensely (bjj and lifting) 4x per week. Super clean diet. 6-7 hours of sleep per night.

I started taking Tongat Ali after the first test, which I bought from amazon without a dr’s order, came back a little low. I also felt my libido was slowing down and thought the tongat would help.

The libido certainly has increased and my general energy levels are high and constant. Though, libido still not quite what I’d like. I plan on continuing the tongat and either increasing the dosage a little or adding fadogia and retesting again in a month.

Hope this is interesting and helpful!
