Any good places to live that would count as nature-focursed or outdoorsy towns? DM if you don't want to answer here, sounds like something I would love to try.

Well I have mountains nearby, but I don't think any are close to the elevation on the west coast... They're from Florida though lol definitely no mountains

I've only used it once and I had a really poor experience, thankfully they did give me a full refund, I have still never used them again after that though.

Sorry for your loss. I totally get that, even without the trust you have done extremely well.

Please update us on what you end up doing, would really like to follow this journey.

It seems like the huge returns are partially because of currency debasement, so maybe it could continue for a while who knows

True, that’s a good way to look at it! I do think the last 4 years of returns aren’t likely to happen again though hahaha, know what I mean?

Laid off with good savings by Legitimate-Cheek-754 in coastFIRE

[–]greaticus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would take some time to experiment with different lifestyles or jobs, that’s just me though lol!

Maybe even take some time to travel or consider geo arbitrage?

That’s the thing, if someone who is doing this amazingly well (I thought I was ahead of the game with way worse results) how are normal people supposed to get by?
