    The power of a FTE (& this forum)

    MINDSET EXECUTION 
    Hello everyone, Today I would like to talk about my experience after having had what I would definitely call a "FTE".

    How much of a return is no longer considered "Slow"?

    NOTABLE! INVESTING 
    Hello Everyone! I wanted to ask this question, what % of a return, whether a business or an investment is no longer considered "slow"? Let's say I invested in the stock market and get an average return of 8%/ year. Obvious 8% is just too slow and unreliable considering recent events. What if...

    Swimming Against My Current

    INTRO 
    So far life has been fairly straight forward for me. I graduated college this past May (without debt, thank you parents) with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. My only blunder so far (in the world of financial independence) was purchasing a new car putting me a little under 10k in debt. Currently at the...

    Would everyone living to 1000 years old make the slowlane viable?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I was thinking about the idea of working 40 years (over 50% of the average human life) just isn't the best thing for most people. But what if we lived to be 1000 years old? I thought about what would change if we lived 2, 3 or maybe even 10 times as long as we do now. I'm not sure much would...
