I’ve read almost every popular personal finance book. And some unpopular ones too. I think most of the authors mean well. But… For most business owners… Especially internet based biz owners… Most of the personal finance rules RUIN a biz person’s chance at true financial independence. This is why… …even though biz owners make more than the average, they often don’t have much to show for it except higher levels of stress, family discord and health issues. So… I thought maybe? It might be useful to dissect some of the “popular” personal finance philosophy. Rules? Or Ruin? If this would be helpful… Sound off by sharing a common piece of personal finance you were “taught.” 👇 Rooting for Ya, Travis PS The “rule” that I followed which semi-retired me at 38, I’ve never found in a personal finance book!

This is the gorgeous cover version @Travis Sago mentioned on yesterday's Happy Hour chat. I hadn't heard it. (Shout out to Simon & Garfunkel, the original creators of the song.) Thanks for mentioning this, Travis. There are a lot of interesting related videos about it too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9Dg-g7t2l4

By my definition I retired at age 38… I will share my definition later… But what is YOUR definition? And bonus question 🙋‍♂️ When would you like to retire? 👇

Since we talked quite a lot about music yesterday, here's a fantastic and unusual "musical" story all wrapped around Beatles songs -- like nothing you've ever seen before. @Bernardo Mendez, you might enjoy since you mentioned that Beatles documentary. https://tv.apple.com/tj/clip/across-the-universe/umc.cmc.6wbuj56x26nawfzcofcyvrvf5?targetId=umc.cmc.2wcuoboep43otg8jk6p3okzrn&targetType=Movie

We were talking about friendship on yesterday's call and I wanted to share this beautiful quote that I love so much, surprisingly by Friedrich Nietzsche.
