Experience vs Wealth Building for the MGTOW Man

[TrapperParticipant 2912]

This topic is great. In my personal life it comes down to how I identify wealth.

I’m about 5 years now from being completely debt free. That includes my house and property. Granted taxes will always be there.

The property came with water rights to a river and artesian spring dating back to 1927. The timber on the property is worth more than I paid for it.

The river is full of fish and doesn’t have pollution issues. The property has apple, cherry, peach and walnut trees. I’ve also established blueberry, strawberry and grapes.

I enjoy everyday I’m home which is priceless in its own way. I’ve also tackled the financial front by loading up my 401k and having a cash reserve.

If the markets stumble, I still eat and enjoy my property. If they don’t, I retire early.

I’ve still been able to travel since my job works me about 200 hours in 2 weeks, then gives me 2 weeks off. It’s an ideal situation for a bachelor.

On a side note 8 years ago I was nearly penny less. At that point in my life $100 was wealth to me.

I did find true happiness evaded me until I was single. Then goals began to take shape and I saw things with clarity and purpose. My priorities and my purpose! That’s wealth to me

Great Topic! My brother and I were talking just yesterday how we both got established starting with almost nothing!

Our biggest advantage is working out of home and using my garage as a small fertilizer mfg company and how much I’m saving on renting or buying a facility, making it impossible for conventional business to compete! My overhead is nothing, paying workers compensation, social security, wages, and the whole ball of government intervention wax!

It was only possible because we both prioritized our debts and positioned ourselves to where we want to be. Had the economy not crashed and the country ran by an infant from Illinois, I’d be in way way way better shape then I am now!

We the people were used to soak up all the economic calamity while the government just grew and grew and grew, extending it’s tentacles further and further and further and never once feeling the economic strangulation the rest of us went through!

Beware of the government and it’s way of circumventing wealth away from the citizen and used to further denigrate that citizen, which is where we are today.

Give them nothing.

Wealth is relative to each person.

It comes down to is your Wealth AND Standard of Living bringing you PEACE.

Do You ENJOY your home, food, transportation, leisure time/activities, transportation, current state of health etc. etc. etc.

Do You like/want to travel ?

Are you DEPRIVING yourself activities/hobbies/interests/items etc. etc. that you can afford and WANT to do or have ?

Taking care of Yourself physically and mentally is your BEST INVESTMENT.

You can SAVE UP Money, but you CAN’T SAVE UP TIME TO ENJOY IT…………..

Last year the state of Oklahoma took everything
I had to show for over a years hard labor.
they left me with nothing but my faith,
and the product thereof.

Almost nothing start ups.

YOUR ALL WITNESSING ONE NOW!

I was bound to be misunderstood, and I laugh at those who misunderstand me. Kind mockery at the well intentioned, but unfettered cruelty towards those would be prison guards of my creative possibilities. This so as to learn as much from misunderstanding as from understanding. Taking pleasure in worthy opponents and making language fluid and flowing like a river yet pointed and precise as a dagger. Contradicts the socialistic purpose of language and makes for a wonderful linguistic dance, A verbal martial art with constant parries that hone the weapon that is the two edged sword of my mouth.

Unless you acquire income producing ASSETS, you will always be a slave.

CASH FLOW PATH OF THE WEALTHY:

If you acquire enough income producing assets, those income producing assets produce enough income to pay for ALL of your liabilities and expenses. Then you can save 100% of what you make and put them towards MORE income producing assets.

Poor people demand instant gratification. Wealthy people DELAY gratification. That doesn’t mean you can’t have fun. But you limit yourself to activities that don’t cost much money. I’m a pretty wealthy guy, and I don’t spend frivolously. The last thing I did for “fun” was go to the park and feed the birds a $1.50 loaf of bread. I also enjoy other things that don’t cost money, like writing and learning. I picked up a bunch of old college textbooks from Goodwill for $2 a pop. “Old” meaning 2 years old so the information is still relevant.

As soon as my income producing assets are able to cover 100% of my expenses and liabilities, then I’ll start spending more money on fun. But until then, the more money I waste, the longer it’s going to take me to become financially free. And I want financial freedom more than anything else.
