Do you ever ask: ‘What am I doing this all for?’
True, everything on here is true and real 🙌🏻
You're amazing Sir
thanks!
I absolutely enjoyed reading your piece. It questions the default “save for retirement” mindset that people usually live in.
I can relate that when I focus on my health, happiness, and goals, I often find that financial success comes too.
these are good targets!
I did love this book and often talk about it. The phrase invest in memory dividends is a good one.

Like you say, the school, university, work, and retire track doesn’t make sense anymore. A lot of people in their sixties don’t want to retire but they don’t want to work full time either.
right!
I really like this way of thinking.
Before our son was born, my wife and I decided to optimize for time spent with him while he was young.
We homeschooled our son until he was 10 so that we could spend at much time together as a family as possible.
We live simply, don't own a car, and live in a 5-minute neighbourhood so that everything we need is just a few minutes away.
I wouldn't trade the last 10 years for any amount of money or success.
Great to hear this from someone who's done it John!
Great list and thoughts.
The problem with #5 is healthcare in the US.
