Former CEO. Millionaire at 30. Retired at 36. I share insights on personal finance, life, and personal growth.
Not the office
Joined February 2021
Why do some people get paid more and promoted faster? Lessons from my 18-year career rise from intern to CEO: 1. Early in your career, just say "yes" - it doesn't matter the job even the dishes, just say "yes"

How much would you pay for a robot that could clean, cook meals, do landscaping, and small repairs around the house? $50k? $100k? $200k?

Ding ding ding!
@lindsaystamp3 I think it’s a net bad for most people. Wasting all day replying “good morning” or other one word answers to other reply guys in hopes of getting $20 every 2 weeks is a complete waste of time. Most would be better off spending that time bettering themselves in their career.

Married couples can withdraw $126,700 from their brokerage and pay $0 in federal taxes in 2025. This is because of a $30,000 standard deduction and $96,700 of long term capital gains taxed at 0%. This is equal to ~$165,000 pre-tax salary. Invest your money.

I've taken over 2 months off of X... It was the first thing I checked every morning and the last thing I checked at night. On one hand, I love the rush of posting something and seeing how it resonates. But on the other hand, it becomes yet another dopamine hit that you end

I think I need a break from X. Going to take a few weeks off, maybe more. It just doesn’t feel healthy anymore…

I left it all behind, so that I could read, write and think more. And I would do it all again in a heartbeat! If you enjoyed this thread please give it a RT. As a former CEO, I delve into FIRE, Enjoying Life, and Personal Growth: @AcdntlyRetired
3.5 years ago I left my CEO gig and abandoned over $1M in potential earnings. WHY? Because I realized that my time is worth more than ANY amount of money. Here are 32 short truths EVERYONE needs to hear:
