When it comes to early FI, I think the end game for all of us is to find a way to maximize our time on this planet. As everyone well knows, time is finite and thus the ultimate currency in the Game of Life. Over the years, more and more folks are realizing this stark truth, and I think that’s why the concept of FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early) continues to grow in popularity and more and more peeps are out there attempting it.

I’ve been blogging about my own FIRE journey since 2012, and well, I can honestly say that

Although to a large degree I’m someone who always kind of has enjoyed working hard, I knew within a few years of working in Corporate America that it wasn’t the life for me long-term. When you’re working for someone else and constantly under the microscope, it’s oftentimes not smooth-sailing, and if you’re one of those people who prefers autonomy, there’s naturally going to be a lot of dissonance there with that type of employer/employee arrangement.

Truism #1: just b/c u have a lot of money and achieved early FI doesn’t mean u know shit about investing. Being popular and well-liked don’t make u no investing authority. maybe u just got lucky. (how bout u ack that, at least?)

— FI Fighter (@FI_Fighter) July 7, 2018

Truism #2: It’s easy to look like investing G if u never disclose trades no one need 2 know 9/10 lost $, blew up, wash, n u won big on ONE! Next thing, u got fancy azz landing page, cheese promo vid, newsletter, u pounding chest telling world u da BEST! n fools be throw $ at u!

— FI Fighter (@FI_Fighter) July 7, 2018

Truism #3: U make BIG $$$ talking bout making $ u can buy anything return yield, n u write reg passive income report. fools be like hot daymn i want me some that too! u buy WTV stock. if WTV does shit readers lose $. u lose lil but don’t care cuz more sub = REAL $$$$ rinse repeat

Truism #4: u want 2 become finance “expert”. easy. throw out bunch of quotes on twitter make u sound smart, poetic, sophisticated, ahead of curve and a thinker. can be own quotes u pull out of ass or borrow. don’t matter this how u build brand n become authority quotes > analysis

— FI Fighter (@FI_Fighter) July 7, 2018

Truism #5 u who speak loudest n have most bravado gain most followers! large following give u “street cred” u can then say ANYTHING n fools believe. wonderful 2 have in place for pump n dumping!

— FI Fighter (@FI_Fighter) July 7, 2018

Truism #6: pump n dump 101 -> only talk positive. link million articles 2 stock even if NOT direct related but show macro pic bullish. make outlandish claims and back them up w “real data” u pull from ass. Diss peer group. call critics TROLLS who down ramp bc want cheap shares!

— FI Fighter (@FI_Fighter) July 7, 2018

Truism #7: pump n dump 101 (part 2) -> u gotta let everyone know that everything u say are FACTS n u are unbiased. U a true fighter for the ppl who got everyone’s back n best interest at heart. yes yes repeat x nauseum pic.twitter.com/RPgqtDxuDL

— FI Fighter (@FI_Fighter) July 7, 2018

Truism #8: Turnkey Investing aka selling overpriced rental property to cash rich out of state newbs works b/c clients don’t know shit about market and r too busy to do proper research. locals would never buy so u must hire pro marketers to laud virtues n pay em $$$ to lure sheep

— FI Fighter (@FI_Fighter) July 7, 2018

Truism #9: why wouldn’t u want to own expensive ass property ppl fight tooth n nail to own? that means u own valuable shit! that’s how u build wealth. only newbs want to own junkers where a SINGLE major repair can cost same as value of home. means land is WORTHLESS n high risk!

— FI Fighter (@FI_Fighter) July 7, 2018

Truism #10: post FI ain’t always sunshine n lollipops. if u was super driven before beach gets old, good food tastes blah, u feel lost a lot. directionless. lots of days pass and u do shit all day. can b depressing. but to keep up appearances best if u shut up and don’t tell ppl
