The downside in the article is that if you live comfortably with your needs met, you lose your motivation to "hustle". :hahaha:
If I could go back, I would have spent less time vacationing, and more time buying rental properties and investing in dividend stocks.
THIS IS A REAL QUOTE
These people have broken brains. Broken. Brains.
Dude spends too much time vacationing and not enough time earning passive income
It’s really an amazing piece. Back in like 2012 or something there was an article like this in Lifehacker I think about a woman and her family trying to budget better. Fine but then she starts talking about private schools, personal shoppers, extravagant purchases and you’re just like “wtf is this? A joke?”
The author got destroyed in the comments.
More free time to spend with my wife, growing as a person and experiencing my only life? Fuck that, I need to look at graphs all day.
Financial instability is like an addiction you have to feed but you can never be free from it lest you spend your time on finding meaning.
good lord, how can you live on only $120,000 a year instead of a third of a fucking million dollars
The plan was to grow our money so we could feel financially secure by the time we had a baby.
My dude says this after describing how he and his wife have a net worth over 3 million dollars, a passive income of 150k a year, and just got back from a month and a half long trip to Asia and New York. How much more financially secure do you need to be, bro?
If I could go back, I would have spent less time vacationing, and more time buying rental properties and investing in dividend stocks.
Yeah, okay, these people are legitimate psychopaths.
holy fuck, along with how fucking garbage this is, i have to say - wealth is fucking wasted on the rich. the number of cool projects i would take on if i didn't have to work for money! jesus
My friend made a few million off working at a big startup for 4 years or so.
He's in his mid-late 30s and he's quitting to move back home and raise his new baby and make music.
That's what a normal person does when they get money.
What the fuck? How is he going to have a babby without first establishing 200k in annual rent-seeking and exploitative "passive income"?
If the chuds can post 2 mil bail for Rittenhouse, surely Chapo can bail me out of Gitmo
This confirms my long suspicion that strivers in order to pursue wealth loose a lot of their personality. Like if worked 20 hours a week for 150k i would get into all sort of weird hobbies
I already have too many weird hobbies working 9-5, I can't even imagine what kind of a fucking weirdo I'd be if I only had to work half as much.
To reward ourselves for paying off the mortgage, my wife and I also took a month-long trip to Asia. We visited friends overseas and saw the Ruins of Angkor in Cambodia, then spent weeks camping in Yosemite. After that, we flew to New York for two weeks to watch the U.S. open. We spent more than $10,000 on the entire trip.
It was a lot of time off — so much, in fact, that I was behind by $50,000 on my goal to reach $200,000 in annual passive income.
Lol how sad that you are only earning $150,000 doing nothing instead of $200,000 :sad-boi:
If he wants to get that hustle back he could buy me a house and car and thend work to pay that off. Just an idea.
This must be an Onion article. I refuse to believe it isn't. Absolutely beyond parody. Eat shit fuckface samurai
