I think retiring at 45 and then working some low stress job like walking the floors of Home Depot pointing people to the direction of the tools their looking for and chatting about their projects sounds kind of nice

Statistically this page is probably full of them… unless of course we are just a bunch of degenerates on a message board. I would assume the percentage of people that are millionaires is higher as a whole than the percentage of millionaires on a college football message board that hang out in the political forum just to Karen at each other. Lol.

Shots fired. You were an employee, someone gave you an opportunity. Congrats. I was given an opportunity by someone that just happened to be related. Seeding cash to create wealth is basically the same as someone else starting a business and investing their money and then letting you work for them. I’m doing fine on my own with the opportunity I’ve been given just like you… I chose to continue to “work”, you don’t… yay for you.
I thought I was returning fire? Apologies if I misinterpreted your previous post.

I’m very lucky that I landed an audience with a very wealthy businessman who saw something in me. It was all by chance. I met him at a party and I sold myself. I never would have been able to have the life that I’ve had were it not for “shooting my shot.” Making more money than I needed allowed me to buy rental properties, which allowed me to retire early. I now have the time to do the things I want and I’m young enough to enjoy it.

My situation is definitely unique and im very lucky. But I’ve found that a lot of people with money can go back to that one lucky/chance moment… not to say there wasn’t work involved. A lot of hard workers have nothing and a lot of nothings have everything sometimes. Marrying well also help…

Someone who is retired and not super old yet has plenty of time, opportunity, and motive to attack his enemies on the internet.

I guess I don't understand the motive part but then again I'm not a greasy creeper.

Financial
Independence
Retire
Early

was not referencing it getting fired

too be fair - you don't need a lot of money to play on the internet all day. Free health care and SNAP are on the table for a lot of early retirees who don't live on much enjoying internet trolling and Cheetos. $0 soap budget helps too.

The problem is this is a Notre Dame fan board. Not Coastal Carolina or Georgia Southern.

One of my old high school friends plays the system and hasn’t worked in over 7 years. We see each other at the same gym, we see each at a few social events maybe 1-2 times per year. He drives a better car than me (because I’m cheap with cars) and he is usually better dressed/flashier than me… usually a new pair of Js every time I see him. On the surface we could pass for the same social class. He is “handicap” and he lives in a decent apartment. Living the dream and is probably one of you knuckleheads to be honest…

It has gotten trickier with higher interest rates but living off of non-qualified savings while deferring retirement accounts until 65 can show very low income qualifying for SNAP and full ACA subsidy. You need to show enough income to avoid Medicaid though. It can be manipulated particularly if you have low spending needs living debt free with inexpensive lifestyle.

That's a traditional portfolio, real estate opens all kinds of doors through depreciation and expensing half your life to suppress your taxable income with potential to make you look poor on your tax return while living well.

With self employment it’s easy to not show income or much income and sometimes even a loss. Even in retirement I’ll still be “self-employed” kind of retired. Like someone said, you can’t be “rich” unless you own something… it’s also harder to tax someone who “owns” something even it’s just on paper.

I'm old enough to retire, but I like my job and prefer to have something to do. Otherwise I'd probably spend all day arguing with the wife. lol

She's just spouting the party line: "Black people are inferior and can't succeed without us to help them and tell them what to think." Every dem policy towards Blacks has that quietly spoken behind it.
Yeah, it’s the philosophical game that D’s want to regulate outcomes vice opportunity.
