Before there was Mr. Money Mustache... There was Poor Richard. Ben Franklin, fucking early retirement genius, after retiring becomes a world-renowned electrical scientist, a badass diplomat in France (and then skips town right before everybody gets their heads chopped off, in no small part due to the diplomatic requests from Franklin, both monetarily and ideologically), and then becomes one of the leading constitutional statesmen in his eighties. Damn. He wielded the power of FU money to its fullest.
