No. 4 goes back to coveting what your neighbor has and the one I had to learn the hard way. The only way this is almost paying off now is that I’m selling off all the junk I never needed on the internet. I’m probably getting back about half of what I spent but I am getting something back and ridding my house of clutter. My mother would have a fit if she knew.
One of the greatest things I have experienced and have seen in others is working knowing you can leave at any time. Literally when the people who you are working with are jerks you can walk away. I worked to just short of my 72nd birthday. I enjoyed the work. I also knew I didn't have to put up with jerks. My supervisor knew it too. I also had 4 weeks of vacation a year and in the last several years of working I took a two week trip to China and another to Cost Rica. I have now been retired for not quite 2 years and since i retired I hiked in the Grand Canyon and took a 2 week trip to Greece. I guess the other factor is I have stayed in good shape and have been blessed with good health.
Attention is the new currency. Being human is becoming more and more undervalued Humans are undervalued Family, friends, and community is real wealth. Material societally “success “ is debt They (private equity, corporations, oligarchs are, in my opinion, utilizing any and all means possible to extract money from people. They go too offer the ability for anyone, anywhere, anytime to spend money and usually accrue debt, as well as all these gambling options, leading to debt enslavement. Their goal seems to be to get everyone in as much debt as possible. Then when a crises hits they are forced to sell assets to survive. Fiat system is a ponzi scheme. This extraction process is occurring worldwide but to extremes in Europe, but hitting all of the west. Resources, land, water, rare minerals, public lands, they want real assets, and they want control over it all. Agenda 2030 You will own nothing and be happy.
I love doing nothing with my time in retirement. It's awesome. Glorious, even. No boss. No one to tell me what to do, just chilling playing some chess.

Not that money and possessions can't cause unhappiness as much as they can cause happiness. But wealth can provide opportunities that poverty never will.
My heroic week was today, a Thursday. Did a handstand with one foot in a TRX strap while balancing w other leg. I am 71, retired, and leveling up this week with my workout goals w people I like
I am almost embarrassed about how much I’ve learned from this guy. This guy has been the only conduit to any kind of financial understanding or confidence for me. I’ve talked one on one with advisors and have found them lacking.
Yup….. I decided to retire when I realized that my contributions just didn't matter….. been 3 1/2 years now….. never been happier!!! Thanks for the great content, and greetings from Canada!
My parents gave me a gift… they taught me not to desire stuff, to do without and then once there was a real need to purchase judiciously. I am grateful I didspend the first half of my life like you described!
After doing therapy for 30 plus years, 10 years ago I decided full retirement is not a good thing overall unless you have a purpose that is meaningful. Using your brain and heart is very important! Also, if you are successful and have provided for your spouse and family, you are satisfied except that many are not. A spouse who doesn't find his/her own meaning, will resent you and tell you, "you are not enough." Prepare now!
Number 3: expecting one heroic week that never comes. So true! I have slowly learned to stop expecting anything. And to stop expecting to get everything 'right' and 'perfect.'. Enjoy each day as it is, both at work and away from work.

Totally agree.
👍👍👍👍EXCELLENT..👍👍👍👍
You share meaningful pearls of wisdom.
Good advice. I don’t get the one heroic week deal though. What is that about?
Attention is the new currency.
Being human is becoming more and more undervalued
Humans are undervalued
Family, friends, and community is real wealth.

You missed the mark on this one. Stick to financial. Skip the philosophical. 💙
Oh such good advice! Thank you
You got these right.
What’s on the yellow signs on the trees?

Enui requires committed discipline to counteract not drugs
Money can buy happiness, BUT, you have to have enough to keep buying happiness.
Appreciate this 👏🏼
retired or not, you will always be surrounded by idiots and A holes, making your life harder and more stressful. Stay home and have a hobby.
❤️
Retiring to have options is underrated. Options such as doing nothing or doing something you want to do.
Love your videos, spare us the introduction. Every time that gets really annoying, but keep on rocking
So true Tyler everything you said is true and I believe the key to living your dream!!!! Hope your living your dream 🙏
Autonomy over what you work on and how you do aid work is such a valuable thing. Most people do not have that.
I went back to school in my 50s and started a new career at 61 and am the happiest I've ever been! It's never too late.
This channel has gold standard advise!
I am retired and made fitness my passion. Wealth without health is nothing.
Doing absolutely nothing is a luxury only a few people will appreciate. There is no need to make your week productive in retirement!!

This was probably the best video I’ve seen. Stop worrying about others and do you. Plain and simple.
love these shorts! ❤
I am going to where I want to go

"Time without a vision sets you up for unstructured anxiety.'
I wish I would've figured that out 20 years ago. My life would look vastly different.
Time with out a vision ❤
Never disagree with the wifey lol
My parents gave me a gift… they taught me not to desire stuff, to do without and then once there was a real need to purchase judiciously. I am grateful I didspend the first half of my life like you described!
Disagreeing with your wife is not demonstrating wisdom. 👿
Deep this
The #1 worst thing to do with your money is live in Vermont. Dont give the Bern your paycheck
Ty! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

Agree!!
I worked until I was 68 yrs old. Simply because I like my job. I had retired once but worked another 8 yrs in a different but related field.
Well put, Tyler

The goal is to be busy, feel fulfilled, have something to talk to others about. Keep the brain & body engaged
I feel sorry for people who don’t know what to do with themselves… I have a very long list and I doubt I will get to it all.
