<<@TechLead says : Create your own path. Get a FREE Skillshare membership https://skl.sh/techleadshow09232 for a month (limited time, ends soon!)>> <<@MakeamericaGreatagain-h7j says : convinced that investing $50k-100k in the right company before it goes big is better than just saving for retirement. But since picking the right company is hard, saving might be safer—who would’ve guessed SPGI? I have $200k in a HYSA and want to invest. What are the best opportunities now?>> <<@DanielPMBA says : Last sentence is awesome Patrick that we at one point we will value time over money, and is not because we made enough money, it maybe because we ran out of time.>> <<@davidk6269 says : I retired at age 47. The key is good investing and having discipline with spending throughout your life. These are skills that will enable you to retire early, and to live well during retirement.>> <<@ozlemucar5196 says : I am 46 and made few website that is generating advertisement revenue and I am making money from cryptos as well. So I am also retired. It is an amazing feeling but very boring as well.>> <<@uhnborhn5032 says : 4:57 lmfao>> <<@CinematographyLischka says : Bird photography sounds like a great idea. I have recently bought a 200-600mm lens and it helps me to sit down and enjoy nature. there is also the sigma 500mm which is much lighter, if you dont need the zoom flexibility, this one might be a good choice.>> <<@denzel1877 says : It's estimated that a human needs food, shelter and clothing to retire early.>> <<@KyleHu says : Good point!>> <<@Eugene_Liu304 says : i had to like adn comnet fir the top tirer sarcasam>> <<@jaywilldoit says : It seems to me as though tech lead has really stopped giving a fck.>> <<@Raymondjohn2 says : More and more people might face a tough time in retirement. Low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents make it hard to save. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire.>> <<@issaahmed6411 says : As an investing enthusiast, I've kept aside a good sum of capital to invest for financial independence and early retirement, but my concern right now is the market rally being propaganda. Is this a good time to buy stocks, or do I wait for the crash?>> <<@MarkoSvilenkov says : Posveti se igranju basketa i bice ti zovot mnogo lep>> <<@HodgeChris says : Am 58 retiring next year but the thought of retirement gives me weakness. My apologies to everyone who have retired and filing social security during this time after putting in all those years of work just to lose everything to a problem you never imagined to happen. It’s so difficult for people who are retired and have no savings or loved ones to fall back on.>> <<@rsstnnr76 says : Get married and have some kids. That's where the real happiness comes from.>> <<@davidchan9187 says : i bet he will run back to work soon :)>> <<@aradhyagupta2810 says : indians showing this to there parents , and then getting disowned from family ..>> <<@rickstevenson9585 says : I just hope I get to the point where I can constantly inform everyone that I’m (a multi-millionaire).>> <<@sterlthepearl1000 says : "Time is more valuable than money. We can get more money, but unfortunately we can't get more time." Jim Rohn>> <<@rof8200 says : You need God because life is short>> <<@timsurf5138 says : Hi TechLead, try surfing.>> <<@gagnecaron658 says : I've done all of these basics, but my portfolio is still in great decline. I have lost over $200K in the stock market, and now I'm desperately trying to improve my portfolio. How do I turn tide around?>> <<@mastermindmoney7605 says : preach!>> <<@LucaStefano-yo7te says : You must gain control over your money or lack of it will forever control you, if you want to be financially free, you have to be a different person than you're today and let go of whatever has held you back.>> <<@Ydoit says : Yes top tiers are all selfish. Typical 🧬 dna. Then others are jealous > me. It’s a cycle of life. -In the end, we will all pass away and nothing matters. We start with nothing and end with nothing. Everyone is wasting time. What Will matter most is Robots/AI and how that will carry on indefinitely.>> <<@MikeStallings2023 says : I agree with all of this. I retired five years early. I do not have as much to spend as you but I do not get much pleasure out of spending anyway. But spending my day riding my bike, exploring my city, watching astronomy lectures on YouTube at night, these things are free and make me happy. You do not need much money if you do not spend much. If I were married, I'd be spending all my money on short term things like vacations. I like investing in myself and being cheap, that makes me happy. My main vice is going out to eat but I can afford it.>> <<@trootzy says : How's your son?>> <<@annaarlt589 says : You have a good sense of humor, made me laugh several times 😂 Cool video!>> <<@shiptj01 says : You're right. Nobody questions work. We live in a plutocracy, so it makes sense.>> <<@pinkthirst says : My suggestion is to work multiple jobs not for money but for entertainment as a way of parallelizing your life…>> <<@gh8066 says : fuckin legend!>> <<@Jon-j1m says : Maybe you could go find your son. Every son needs his father.>> <<@marketmagus says : Bad advice, but this will hit later>> <<@lionrock2023 says : you haven't had a job in years... most people would call you retired. (as a millionaire in yen only)>> <<@nitin_puranik says : Thanks, I needed this. I've been 3 years into early retirement, now 38 years old. I wish I could travel like techlead, but my wife and I have a young son, and another one's on the way. I was a little depressed lately because my self esteem has taken a hit for being a stay at home parent for this long. I was contemplating getting back to the software industry again, because with very young kids, there's no opportunity to travel, and outside of recreational hobbies, I don't have other serious interests. So getting back to software is my only option. But thanks to this video, I'll hold off on that for a while.>> <<@ando5563 says : https://youtu.be/k2wbW5SwgDM?si=Ito58kcI3KiuC_WW Your video on why fire doesnt work>> <<@ando5563 says : How's the life of a a fallen off youtuber like>> <<@abramswee says : I got my Phd in AI after spending 6.5 years of part-time doctoral research. It wasn't an easy path and yes, my supervisor did tried to play me out by dragging her feet on my final thesis draft review for a whole year despite me sending her numerous notifications. She wanted to drag on another year so that she can get another year of tuition fees subsidy from the govt. I said, enough is enough and ultimately I got out of that university after the phd board refused to transfer me to another supervisor. Mind you, I paid for almost all of the conference publications fees, not knowing that I could get funds from the uni to pay on my behalf. In the end, I managed to get another lower ranking unversity to carry on my phd candidature and graduate in the end but I had to put in another 2 years. Is it worth it? absolutely not. Out of 5 part-time phd student, I was the only one left. The rest had dropped out either due to pressure or conflict with my supervisor. She was of a different ethnic group from me, so it was a conflict of social outlook from day one but I endure it and managed to graduate at the age of 55. Why did I do this? well, I came from a poor family with strict local govt that prevent mediocre students from pursuing degrees. So when I migrated to this western country, for once in my life, I have the opportunity to study! Previously in my motherland, the only option that I could study for my diploma and degree was through nigh school at some private institution. There was financial aid so I had to work in the factory full-time while study part-time. Life wasn't a bed or roses but I was determined to dig myself out of this shitty Confucius, stifling, hierarchical and manipulative society, and I did. Looking back, I wish I was smarter instead of grinding my life in balancing between night school and work full-time for 15 years. Now at age 57, I think I missed my boat of early retirement, I will slow down though in my work and forgo climbing the corporate ladder. That is semi-retirement for me.>> <<@jeremyvargo4917 says : The book "Outlive" would be a nice retirement book for the Ipad.>> <<@DERUSART says : You have billion dollars and I have 10 dollars, maybe this vid is not for me>> <<@incyphe says : 5:00 almost broke character there lol>> <<@markjou9799 says : I was planning on retiring early but I am seriously going to reconsider. I have been on strike now for a month and I am totally bored out of my mind. The first week I was off, it was nice but then it got boring really quick. I just sit home and eat junk food all day and some days I even struggle to just wake up and take a shower. I am just totally lazy now. I have nothing to look forward too. Atleast when I was working I felt somewhat good and I loved working hard all week and then getting excited when the weekend came because I enjoyed going on the dating apps and finding a hookup for the night. I just don’t feel like doing anything like that now and my body is telling me that it enjoys working. I hope I am able to go back to work soon.>> <<@tekken9476 says : 😂😂 bro flexed on us brokies>> <<@CodeinChillin says : Always very grateful for your wisdom! Please continue posting! Thank you.>> <<@zachjones6944 says : I'm semi-retired at 33.>> <<@Truthseeker371 says : When I tell the younger and the same age people why I retired early self funded. My answer is nothing but truthful that I never believed in working like a slave or for employers. I worked and saved/invested with the only one purpose to retire early. There are so many things meaningful to me I have always wanted to do while I am alive. Living to work mandanely was not on my agenda from the day I got employed at the age of 20. Travelling, and expanding my mental and spiritual horizons is included in my life purpose.>> <<@ninersnation3298 says : I'm taking 6 months off, I HATED!!! I'm 48, not 78!!! at work, the young staffs, they keep me entertained and relevant!! the travel, the vacations, those s ht gets bore in a hurry!! Unless, I have a HOT girl friend, I ain't retired early.>> <<@WSJChan says : Hey Techlead, the mindshift in this video was SO mind-blowing. Greece was one of my past bucket list visit. Love your background and theme. Appreciate you man! Enjoy!>> <<@JosephReynolds522 says : It's estimated that Americans will need more than $1 million to retire comfortably, but I found most of us aren’t bullish about meeting that goal. I’ve been sitting on over $750K equity from a home sale and I want to invest on the stock market, how do I achieve this?>>
