Been a fan of this guy for a while.

I enjoyed his interview with Tim Ferris in 2017, especially 12:29 -28:20. Link to video here.

US is ground zero of consumer insanity that has taken over our minds, act irrationaly, sabotage ability to have good life, becaseu fo consuiming more crap without life benefit. Same for health, mental health. inefficiently going through life. Be more thoughtful and effieicnt to make sure you get fun. Applyign is more healthier life. Retire from mandatory work earlier.

Guy retired at age 30.

Have a portfolio that is 25-28% of your annual spending (4% rule, 3.5% to be conservative)

Don’t have a car that’s worth more than $10k. Can find car that’s trouble free for the next 10+ years for under $5k. Don’t use that car a lot is key. Proximity to work, where you go, is key.
