ERE bragging
« on: March 01, 2015, 09:38:26 AM »
Hello everyone,

Thought I would share my badassity. Large permanent portfolio in the bank. Keeping my nut low, still working age 45, currently spending 50 USD  / week total. I live on a barge, no utility bills, solar and wood burner.  I have got it real bad, cannot spend anything guilt-free.

Hey friend, this is an anonymous forum -- care to fill in some of the gaps with details or at least eliminate the contradictions like "ERE but still working"?

Thanks

So you have a hard time spending your money.  Do you also have a hard time letting go of your job?  If you are only spending $200 a month "total" (according to your post), and you have lots of $$ in the bank, why haven't you retired already?

You need to discover the concept of Enough, my friend.

Congratulations on your badass spending level, and badass accumulation.

Now move to a badass guilt-free life.  :)
I am a former teacher who accumulated a bunch of real estate, retired at 29, spent some time traveling the world full time and am now settled with three kids.
If you want to know more about me, this Business Insider profile tells the story pretty well.
I (rarely) blog at AdventuringAlong.com. Check out the Now page to see what I'm up to currently.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
