Early retirement, financial freedom, time independence, and no debt, makes life exponentially easier.
It also makes you more honest.
When there’s no boss, no banker, no customers to coddle, you don’t have to sugarcoat your words.
You don’t become a dick, but you become clear and direct.
This saves massive amounts of angst, worry, fear and confusion.
It also eliminates shitloads of small talk.
Men are predisposed to be more direct because we only speak about 7,000 words per day.
Women are in the 35,000-word stratosphere.
Men focus on results.
Women lean toward process.
Men want to buy.
Women want to shop.
Men deliver messages.
Women build relationships.
But take a man or a woman, and eliminate everyone and everything they used to be dependent upon, and you’re going to hear a lot more honesty.
If you want the deepest, most sincere, concise truth about anything, take an old, retired, self-dependent guy out for a beer.
You may not hear THE truth, but you’ll certainly hear HIS truth.
At the least, it'll be entertaining.
At the most, it just might save you decades of flailing around with trial and error.
