cool. Thanks for sharing


No problem. Being able to retire earlier > having a shiny new boat.

Let’s assume this guys loan was for 60k @ 4.5% for 10 years. That’s a monthly note of just over $600

If instead he had invested that at a 7% return he would have 100k after 10 years. So that boat really didn’t cost him 60k it cost him 100k plus all the future returns on that as well. So 30 years in the future he could have half a million in his investment account...or he could have 30 year old pictures of him in a boat that by now is in a scrap yard somewhere.

what incredible stuff are you going to do in your early retirement that so clearly outweigh having a boat when you’re young and active
