So a few weeks ago, I looked in the mirror and saw the beginnings of old man tits forming on my chest, and decided that I have finally entered the phase of my life where I move from a consumption lifestyle, to an investment lifestyle. I did the math, and if I invest a quarter of my take home income in various investments, I will have well over 2 million dollars when I retire (and another 500 thousand when I turn 82). If I live that long and remain healthy, I can enjoy a glorious retirement of debauchery with no one on this planet to answer to. Then I started thinking, what if I had that same mindset when I was 18 years old? I would probably be retired right now! In my 40s! I could be doing whatever I want right now with all the comforts modern society gives us. Think of all the stocks I could have invested in in the early 2000s? Amazon, Google, Apple, etc….. Tesla later. I’d be a multi millionaire! The synapsis of this blog is, if you want to reap reward, seize on opportunities for investment and learn to deal with boredom or having less in the meantime, because rewards will come back in multiples.
