Inflation really messed up the FIRE movement. It’s one way the government taxes us without calling it a tax. They pumped all the money out during COVID and now they are pumping it back into the system. That’s all money is to an economy. It’s like oil in an engine that keeps everything going. Maybe everything will stabilize soon but what a mess they have created for the people. Just remember the saying “what goes up must come down”.

Why do you need a man cave? You are not even married. Your whole house can be a man cave

Nice sermon from the pulpit

Thank you

u definitely have a FIREd hairstyle lol. right out of bed and ready to fall back in at any time

If I was in your shoes I wouldn't consider myself retired. Just like you've said, you're working by making KZbin videos and as an influencer and you have to adjust your spending accordingly due to not being in the workforce. I know you started your channel as FIRE being the hook early on but it became increasingly clear you're now just another KZbinr that doesn't work a traditional 9-5 job. There is a chance that you do more actual hours of work in filming and editing videos than someone who works an office job but make less money.

great parody video

I live in a whomencave. It is full of light coloured matching furniture, cut flowers, scented candles, pillows that match the folded blankets... 😂😂😂

Personal opinion: Too much stuff. I thought you were working on reducing the amount of stuff you have?

Thanks for this. Long time subscriber. Your videos helped me while I prepared to retire. Now it's been 5 years and I agree, one needs a higher purpose. The money motivation is no longer there. I wanted to attend one of your Bay area meetups back then, but I lived too far away.

Appreciate you! Long time viewer and now FIREd. You could remake a lot of your older content for a whole new generation of viewers!

This was really fun! 😂

Thanks for your beta. Mid training-day 3 hit 140 and 125. Trainee goal was 75 and site goal 102

This was the video I was looking for. Had so many logical points and niches well laid out.

I have a 98 eldorado it says premium gas only but I put regular in it rn and seems like everyone else does it it’s runs fine but I’m gonna try 93 since I never have

It needs to be like a bus with specific pick up and drop off. Drive all around town is crazy scary.

Also, rehashing old videos doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad thing. It’s also necessary to update these videos for the current markets, add more information, improve upon your advice and discuss how new protocols are. Looking forward to it Francis!

This is one of the most masculine videos I have ever seen in my life!

Keep it up bro. You one of the honest person

😂U still here

You can't have a man cave and be frugal, as welll....?🤔

Your intro line got me hooked ! Excellent experiment, you did what I always thought about the past few years

Rent cost is too low on here considering many well paying jobs are in high cost of living areas. It also doesn’t include utilities.

That’s nice uniqlo pants I also wear often too

The tea gave this style.

I try not to read comments on my videos people are rude

My daughter is going to make sure that her current partner/future husband has a man cave in their home. Everyone needs some space to call their own and to fix it up the way they want to.

lol where are all ur gunz. owait ur in san fran nvm. imo there are a lot of biologic differences that explain difference between man/woman lifespan, for example auto immune diseases are like 3-4x more common in women, and women's sex hormones stop at age 55 but men keep making testosterone the entire life usually, which might have opposite effects in cardiac outcomes. theres also a big difference in kidneys, different muscle mass from sex hormones affects function, and with women the adrenal glands kind of get distracted with making extra estrogen later in life, might use up cholesterol and make less cortisol which is not good for heart. also, there is none such thing as a woman coal miner. occupational hazards lol.

Omg! Thank you for this video😢 now I do understand WHY my husband need tools in our little apartement🥹

Would be great if you can do a video on how to fix the most common electrical issues for things like dishwasher controller, dryer board, etc. I wish I knew more about those things.

Is he moving the place is a hot mess lol. His gf needs to move in and clean the place up a bit by getting him to store and junk it .

lmao that was pretty funny, keep on keepin on

haha….love it!

Made me laugh! You are a bit of a size queen :-)

Wait, where are you making your "full time" content. I love this channel. One of my favorite actually. Where can I find you?

I suppose part of me stopped trying to do fire because it seems impossible with my current circumstances and age and i stopped watching videos about it for a while in general. Especially couldn’t watch you go on trips when i was struggling to just pay bills. It’s ok to have repeat content when it’s encouraging. Sometimes people need to hear something multiple times in different ways to really believe they can do it too and how. So i started watching again and trying. I may never retire but maybe my kids will be better off. Anyways loved the emotional vulnerability in this video. That takes courage.

Outstanding!!!

Dude please sell me those dumbbells

So all this gadgetry and if someone finds those cards they get the crypto

You could have sold us an online course with this valuable information, but you gave it to us for free. That’s why you’re the 🐐.

Where are your firearms, your bow or crossbow or both, and the big red axe? You also gotta display some shiny crossed swords. Edit: I almost forgot, you must have a punching bag hanging from the ceiling.

it all boils down to a paper. any way thanks for sharing, you tried

I feel like we are starting to see his descent into madness. This is why FIRE makes no sense, you end up bored at home during your prime earning years

Looking forward to your frugal and money saving videos Francis! I've been subscribed to you for years. Really enjoy hearing you just sitting down and talking to the camera about finance, investment and money saving.

Hahahaha loved the humor in the video

Fascinating idea. Kind of just seems like a souped up cooler.

I've seen some of these in use. While you won't have to be the one to mow your lawn it seems like you still have to monitor it which it can be annoying.

this place looks as messy as my place except my place is like 100 times smaller(1 bedroom). it is very comforting lol

Don’t forget the guns

My man cave is my computer desk and a chair.
