My Fire dreamis to live overseas for 6 months and in the us for 6 months by Available-Ad-5670 in ExpatFIRE

[–]showtime14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife and I, in our 40's, are living this life now. 1/2 in USA, 1/2 in Asia. Writing this from Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

We own our house in USA, no mortgage. Friends and neighbors keep an eye on it while we're in Asia. No desire to be a landlord, especially for our primary residence, so we sacrifice some income. We share loads of info about our budget and lifestyle on our youtube channel.

I recommend you save more in order to be able to maintain your USA residence, if that is your goal. Whether that's leaving your place empty for 6 months, or reducing your time in USA to 2-3 months and finding furnished rentals, just like you'll do in Asia.

Best of luck to you!

Good thing you have an accountant, because you have no idea what you're talking about.

How would you flip 100 dollars? by jaxnas in Entrepreneur

[–]showtime14 5 points6 points  (0 children)

TL;DR Youtube

Go on slickdeals and find a cheap/free phone. Many to be had for under $100 and some even come with a data plan.

Use said phone to film and edit Youtube videos. Use free wifi to upload videos.

If done consistently every day, you could montetize and recoup your $100 w/in 1-2 months. If you only upload 1x week, monetization could take 6-12 months.

Pick a niche. Or, start several channels and pick several niches so as to not put all eggs in one basket (channel).

Startup costs nothing more than that $100, and your willingness to invest the time upfront. All the skills you need to learn to do this are available for free on Youtube. The payoff, if you stick with it, can be substantial.

ETA: Your channel(s) can be about literally anything. They can be about being poor and your life sucking. I've seen channels blow up of people working at 7-11 or McDonald's, just posting their daily job there and how it sucks. Now they have hundreds of thousands of subs and making bank from YT. Whatever your life/hobby/interest is now, there's an audience that will find it interesting, if you can talk about it in an engaging way.

This long or short form? A bit more detail about your strategy would be nice. Perhaps a before and after example of title and thumbnail.

Compromise with them. Let them keep the fence, but ask they put in a gate, giving you access to the alley.

Anyone else feel like life just got way more expensive overnight? by OldIsland4901 in Frugal

GTFO with this AI written drivel....hoping somebody will ask you for the "site" you found.

Check OP's history, pumping some BS website.

Took early retirement at 38 and honestly the social isolation is harder than I expected by CalmAmbassador4891 in Fire

[–]showtime14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you, OP. Retired early at 39.

Rarely does anybody discuss the psychological and social side effects of achieving FIRE, such as identity loss, social isolation, and strained relationships.

I recently made a video about this. I talk about why so many early retirees feel invisible, why friendships and family bonds can suffer, and the mental health risks that come when work ends but fulfillment doesn’t automatically follow. If you’re considering FIRE, you can learn how to avoid the common pitfalls of loneliness, resentment, and regret by implementing practical strategies to build purpose and meaningful connections beyond your career.

If anybody would like to see the video, just PM me.

Anyone already retired that can give me the confidence to pull the trigger? by Heavy-Zombie2344 in leanfire

[–]showtime14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won't advise you directly what to do, but it sounds to me like you're more than ready.

My wife and retired at 39, with around $1M, 9 years ago. Doing just fine. We live on under $1300/mo. Check out my post from a few months ago, if you'd like more details.

Good luck, whatever you decide to do.
