Are you a working adult, waking up the majority of your days NOT doing what you wish? If so, then this message is for you.
Whether you know it yet or not, you are in the most important race of your life. Everyday the finish line is moving farther and farther away from you. The prize for crossing the finish line is your time. Time is the most valuable possession you have. Many people will take a lifetime to complete this race. Even more may never cross the finish line.
Conventional retirement advice has set generations up for failure. Typically all you hear is to invest slowly over 40 years, and at the age of 65 you can finally retire to live the life of your dreams. Why crawl in the retirement race if you can sprint? Invest as much as you can, as soon as you can. Forego consumption traps and lean into fulfilling experiences. Your future self will thank you. Once your retirement accounts are projected to be fully funded by you target date, quit all meaningless work and begin living life on your terms with active income covering your daily expenses.
