I instantantly thought of the clearing out clutter thread, but it fits better in the anti-mustachians comics section.

We're just talking about the weekly street-side garbage collector, right?

I wish! My garbage man is always asking annoying questions like "There's not any polonium in here this time, right? You know you can't throw that in the trash OR the recycle, right?"

A Job is a Job (Dr. Seuss inspired)
From: https://blog.toggl.com/job-comic/

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.

That's disturbing. especially the thud and screaming at the end. But it does remind me of why I'm semi-FIRED - I don't want my life to be like that.

Perhaps not a comic, but I thought it was relevant: The "average" american life in weeks:


The article, Your Life in Weeks is good in general, and makes a good point that each week is for living.
This particular breakdown reminds me of the text from How much of your life are you selling off?: "I pictured the typical career-fueled life as settling out into three distinct phases: pre-work, work, and post-work...For most people, the post-work phase marks the first time they can do what they like with their days without the approval of a parent or an employer. The post-work phase is typically shorter than the work phase. If average life span is a little shy of 80, the typical post-work phase is less than twenty years, and by the time it begins, the worker’s body can’t do what it used to do."

I love this, and actually, built my own "Life In Weeks" in Excel, and keep it as part of my financial projection spreadsheet. The exercise of building it the first time was very introspective.  Now, it's great to revisit to keep things in perspective and ensure I'm keeping my journey to FI on track.

The Woke Salaryman has some consistently great  Mustachian comics and articles, written from an Singaporean point of view.

There's a cartoon of this where the husband says "It's a rental. I just got it to piss off the neighbors. You can keep the bow after we return the car."
