This whole idea of financial independence retire early doesn't work.
Let me tell you why.
It happened to me.
On the sale of my first company, I achieved great
liquidity and I thought to myself,
"Hey.
I'm 36.
I can retire now."
I retired for three years.
I was bored out of my mind.
Working is not just about money.
People don't understand this very often until they stop working.
Work defines who you are.
It provides a place where you're social with people.
It gives you interaction with people all day long in an interesting way.
It even helps you live longer and is very, very good for brain health.
Staying stimulated is how people live into their 90s.
I'm not kidding.
So when am I retiring?
Never.
I don't know where I'm going after I'm dead, but I'll be working when I get there too.
