A Second Act or Early Retirement?
One of the reasons to retire early, beyond owning your time and doing what you want when you want, is to avoid the dubious last part of your career. It is always uncertain how those last years at the job will be, and everybody knows somebody that […] 
10 Years of Recap
Not long ago, I was thinking about when I bought my home, it was the summer of 2009, and the “peak” of the crisis, that means that everything was tanking, economy was rock-bottoming and prices were very low. That´s why I bought. Some say I got lucky, and yes […] 
80% REPLACEMENT INCOME DOES NOT MAKE SENSE
All the calculations that you do for retirement and many of the calculators, advisors and everybody (everybody not in the FIRE) that you talk to says you need 80% of your last income. Whaaaat! It does not make any sense.

I ALSO SMELL THE DANGER
Today’s post is a response to last week’s, in a kind of complementary couplet that I had not done until today. After writing I CAN SMELL THE SEA I kept thinking that it is true that it seems that we have passed the equator of this process and that […] 
Take advantage of time
Sometimes I meet people who are surprised at how I have time to do the things I do, they ask me where I get the time. Of course there is no magic trick, time is implacable and it vanishes between our fingers. . . My answer is always the same: […] 
TIME WILL BE ON YOUR SIDE Patience is a virtue, especially in the age in which the most important is the instantaneous, the ephemeral. You must be prepared to act at any time, but you must be patient until that time comes. The major GOALS are not achieved overnight. Water has all the patience in […] |
