I have endless unwatched DIY, travel, Investment etc utube vids and 10,000 books in my Calibre library, now that I'm retired my problem is a lack of time to watch anything (i retired at 40 and am now 61). I haven't turned the TV on for about 7 months.
No time? How you even manage that? I retired at 20-something and still game everyday and watch stuff (*arr-stack and no streaming crap). Wifey too.
While I admit, I still haven't found time to "work down" my calibre-library in over 3 decades. Don't even consume youtube, and still read no damn book....Maybe the next decade it is! ๐
Oh dang, a billionaire in our midst.
Don't need to be a billionaire for that. Just good investments instead of wasting money on shit noone needs to impress people you dont even like.
It's not trivial but also not reserved for just the 0.00000001% of ultra-rich.
Check what you REALLY need, apply a lil buffer for the unforeseeable, wait till your passives meet that and be done with whatever.
Know a couple, they're making 18k/month after taxes. They rent an expensive large poser-house in poser-town, drive expensive poser-cars and live big in every aspect. Travel once a month most expensive, waste 3k a month on dining outside or delivery, No investments, no savings. Every penny left is burned on desires.
And they hate their jobs while doing everything to have to stay there....
