    MGTOW is not a movement, it is a way of life.

    Work smarter not harder!

    The “place to stand” is in observation and assessment never let anyone manipulate your concrete positions, the only thing better than NO is F~~~ NO!

    The “lever long enough” is how much strategist thinking you do BEFORE YOU DECIDE. you can move Heaven, Earth, and Hell as well as long as you use your god given intellect and take your sweet time making up your mind BEFORE YOU GIVE AN ANSWER!

    It’s all about timing and how you give yourself time and space to get all the answers! Slow answers are always better than fast answers, women use their speedy little tongues to stumble us into fast answers that we regret later.

    Slow down the machine of their methodical maniacal thinking and they get all f~~~ed up and hammered into their graves all on the word of an ABSOLUTE NO.

    NO!

    word hard only on things you are passionate about. things that are important to you

    All good things come to an end.

    I just planned on working as hard as I need to until I can live off dividends, then taking the rest of my life off. I’m pulling 3 extra 12 hour shifts over the next two weeks on top of my regular work load. I could live comfortably off about 1/3 of my base salary, and I certainly don’t need the overtime, but why not take it? Its all going to get put into my investment account and pay me dividends for the rest of my life.

    The way I look at it is if I’m working all kinds of overtime just to buy a second car and a big house and pay all kinds of taxes…I’m wasting my life working just to have things. If I’m throwing it all into investments I’m simply working an extra day now so I can cut a week or two off my eventual retirement date. The big picture of my plan is I’ll actually spend less hours of my life working.

    I don’t think many of my peers are/were envious of my lifestyle throughout my 20s and into my early 30s when my focus was on paying for school, a condo, and saving hard rather than partying, traveling, and running up debt having fun…but quite a few are becoming jealous of my situation now that I’m doing well and they are buried, and imagine the gap will only grow as I made enough off the market to live last year and imagine by 35 I’ll be able to do it off dividends alone while most of my peers will still be crushed in debt. Its obvious I worked harder and made better choices than a lot of my friends, coworkers, and acquaintances around my age…but its only because I wanted to get it done early rather than have to hustle all through my 30s, 40s, 50, 60s, and possible into my 70s playing catch up when the alternative was to hustle for my 20s and a yet to be determined portion of my 30s then coast for my 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s.

    I hear ya beer, my plans got sidetracked in the bubble bursts stocks and real estate, but still I own my homes outright and only have a few grand of forced hand credit card debt, I have friends that lost EVERYTHING and were swallowed up by the economic tsunami, I stand economic flood dammaged but never the less warm and dry, my strategy was like yours but the swindlers and gangbanksters must survive. Be careful where you invest, make sure much of it is hidden from taxaholic prying eyes and rule benders alike, trust nothing in paper it’s economically flammable and all you can do is watch the numbers roll the wrong way! Diversify!

    That exactly is part of my long term plan, especially the less stress part of it…
    … since I know what/how much I really need and hardly any more besides that.

    Bless!

    I'd rather die a natual death with a clear MGTOW conscience somewhere off the grid than one within "modern" civilisation with a big stress mark on my forehead and a couple of dozen tubes plugged into my body. Back to the plantation..? Me..? Hey, literally: I won't ever fucking kid myself...YZERLMNTSIC

    This is key right here. I see so many people just bury themselves in life because they always want more. It doesn’t matter how much they make…they’ll spend it all and then some. I know for me my spending habits have never changed as my wages increased, but my savings rate certainly has. I intend to not allow myself any increase in my standard of living as compared to what I was accustomed to during my broke college days until dividends alone fully pay all my expenses.

    Once I hit that point I’ll allow myself some lifestyle inflation but it will never exceed my dividend income. The sooner I hit a point where working is optional the better, and going through life knowing the loss of a job or loss of my ability to work will not really cause any decrease in my standard of living or cause me to lose my home or car will be a tremendous stress load I never have to worry about that most people have hanging over their heads perpetually.

    Yes, very wise move on your end, beer. Good on you, mate. Just like myself, same attitude. Kudos!
