Project No Spending Money: Day 20
Today I spent $0. Girlfriend gave me $25 Mastercard gift card, so I’m going to use that money to buy us some food and we’ll cook something at home — now that is cheap!
HOW TO RETIRE BEFORE 40
The average American has 2 cars, 2 kids, and a nice house with a picket fence with an average life earning of $1.5 million or so …
Now say the guy — before getting trapped into marry — decides to have a girlfriend who is cool with him living in a van.
He saved $700,000.00+ or so on his mortgage (total cost paying interest to the bank over 30 years period) and at least $500,000.00 if he chose to have 2 kids and raise them until they’re 18 years.
NOT only that, but he’ll “save” the planet because a kid will cost more environmental damage then any things he recycle or reuse during his life time.
He’ll use the money to invest in land in South East Asia, guaranteed interests from foreign banks, and use the American dollar as leverage to live like a king in South East Asia (China, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia etc)
Might sound a little extreme for some people — but you got many paths to choose from. Retire at 65 years old (or work until you die for some people) or retire at 40 or younger by making a few wise choices …
