  • I do not have specific advice for finding an advisor. I didn’t reach FIRE suddenly, and built up my knowledge over time. Early on it was a combination of Peter Lynch, Robert Kiyosaki (I wouldn’t recommend taking Kiyosaki too seriously, though), Mr Money Mustache, and a book that I recall was titled Living Without a Salary, but that may not be correct. I didn’t follow exactly the advice in that last book, as it called for investing in Treasury notes. Now it’s inertia plus the *fire subreddits. I use Vanguard, but as a self-directed investor.

    For parking cash, have you considered credit unions instead of banks?



  • If you truly can’t move, then you need evidence (backed up somewhere, too) and competent legal advice. It’s better if this evidence-gathering is surreptitious, so they won’t perform “better” during the recording.

    P.S. In your jurisdiction, is it illegal to smoke near children? If it is, a tip to child protective services might be appropriate.

    “Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.

    That word is “Nazi.” Nobody cares about their motives anymore.

    They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?”

    ― A.R. Moxon
