Notes
Living is overrated.Spend your work days constantly reworking the same tired net worth projection spreadsheet and optimize your savings to produce even just a measly 0.1% gain. Plug new numbers into your projection and realize that skipping weekly pizza night means you could retire 6 months earlier, even if your children resent you for it.Take your wife out to a romantic dinner once per year, but only to Applebees for the 2 for $20 deal. Spend the entire dinner talking about how this meal is going to force you to work one extra week. Bonus points if you complain that the cost of her glass of wine could’ve been used to buy an entire bottle from the store.Once you’ve earned the contempt of your family, your schedule should be freed up to spend all your time at work. Chase that promotion, chase that almighty dollar. Because every dollar invested today is worth 17 dollars in X years time. Make as much as you can as early as you can at all costs.After alienating yourself from the enjoyable life you once knew, you’ll finally have enough to retire 20 years earlier than anyone else. Your kids will never call you. You’ll probably be divorced. You’ve also likely neglected your health and hobbies along the way. But at least you’re retired. You’ve “won”.aggressively downs shot of whiskey
