6 Rules For A Great Retirement!!

1. One of the most adult activity, a person can do is living of the land. Why? It's what humans done for thousands of years before the Internet. This is proven with a rich and mature history. 

2. Retire in western countries. Seriously, do you believe people in asia really want you there? Last week, I read about a woman vacationing in India and came back home with 38 brain parasites. If it's about hot weather, FL, CA and anything but third world countries. ? Yes, the alure for cheap living is strong. But, I heard many people over there will not respect you, by just living there because it's cheaper. Makes sense?

3. Start a small business or a micro-startup. YouTube was sold in 1,5 years for $1.65 billion. Instagram sold for $1 billion after two years, while Twitch.tv was sold after around three years for $970 million. What if you could balloon your way to a $1 million dollar exit in a few years. This could change your life forever. You could invest in forrest, land, domains, stocks, local small businesses, real estate and other investments, depending on your passions and personality. Give this 24-36 months... maybe you become a millionaire, just by daring taking action now. Start prepared and small-based.

4. I been unemployeed for a 36 months now. And I literally detest this type of living. I never want to retire... at least not that type, when you sit alone under a palm tree and just drink beer and eat food and watch TV and Internet. I have such low income now, that I had to cut down on green tea and fruits. On the other end, had I six figure a year in income, I possibly had 100 pounds to my gut. That's a massive blue catfish gut!

5. So, what passive income number is enough to retire? For some retired it's $100,000 monthly in passive income to continue their luxury vacations, yachting and golf. Literally, there is no right or wrong answer to this. But, if I could lock in a net income of $5,000/m... I would do this right now. But only if this income level also keep up with inflation. That's about $7,500/m in gross income where I live. In ten year's and with inflation this would be  likely along $11,250/m. Now, this got me thinking about that, blue catfish gut!

 

6. In the end, I still feel decent and with ease today. I been near a breaking point, feeling like I just had to find a high paying job. This changed when two things happened to me. 1. I watched a video of Rich Paul, said along I been thinking for some years. "All money, ain't good money." 2.  I found a punk track about living from 1980. Lyrics: "YOLO, and this time is now. Nobody know how you should live, only you. Don't sit and glare  TV all day, we are going downtown,  drink wine and watch a band play."

 

7. I never been fond of that dream of lean-FIRE. I live lean-FIRE now, and I detest living like this. Like I mentioned about retiring to Asia. Many of the young adults, to middle age are mad that you are not paying taxes by working a job. That's not the worst thing. It's about not being able to live fully. Like I mentioned, I had to cut out green tea and fruits. A few years ago whole chicken cost $4.99, and today they cost $11.49!! No car, no green tea, no pants, few fruits, bad teeth,
