Own a law firm and then got into rehabbing and renting out properties. Mainly STRs with some LTRs sprinkled in. Also own a couple other businesses now. Army helped a lot with tricare and VA home loan.

Got really lucky. But also very burned out.

ETA: also don't spend a lot of money. Savings rate is probably 50%+ of gross

You want to keep working indefinitely but cut your hours back. Still have purpose and routine but more time to do what you want

no need to "retire". just cut back and do other shite. take breaks. start trading futures on the side. RE should be on auto pilot. quit practicing law for now.

obamacare and inflation are destroying middle class families right now with the costs. it is robbing people of any hope of retirement. complete travesty. if the trump tax cuts sunset it will be even worse.. and with that POS democrat biden we now have 87k more IRS agents to audit us. good job democrats. fn morons.

be thankful you are not struggling like most.

Good deal. I wish I had your acumen. If I may offer advice outside of the usual hobby answer, if I were in your position I would keep a scaled down niche law practice in a subject you’re passionate about.

Do a YouTube channel/write a book/do private consulting or something on your area of expertise, so you keep your brain engaged in IDEAS. A highly intelligent man needs to stay engaged more than just in the physical world.
