Thanks for your transparency. Can’t believe that you are 40. You look great. There are still states without income tax (w/wo capital gains and dividend tax) attracting many retirees. Can you make a video about your thoughts/opinions/pros &cons/future potential about each of these states. If you can tailor your video for the “younger than 65” yr old retirees would be most relevant. Thanks so much. You are doing a great job living out your life to the fullest. Congrats!

because we live in the modern age. Back in ancient times, by age 40 you getting ready to die...

[@rasmasyean]

@@johnnylee8194 I think 18 is the "current" standard, because most graduate secondary education (high school). And that's the standard where MOST areas enable you to support yourself and even build up to family planning. When half the population worked on farms, you were pretty much an "adult" by 15, 16, maybe even 13, 14 for some girls who marry early, religious reasons or cultural role after menstruation, etc. By that time you will be able to work the fields and start making the next generation. Today, if try to start a family that early, you might need welfare, which taxes the system. But some more rural states allow it, which is why the "age of consent" is 16 in many states.

Olivia Matthew for the most part, nuclides aren’t a big worry that’s brought up if you’re preventative, not compared to UV radiation that bombards you on the daily. Nuclides are a more slow and gradual build up kind of issue. Although I don’t know toooo much about them. Anything In excess is not good. This culture in USA tends to shame health conscious people.

On a side note, I’m an American living in Turkey where the currency fluctuates like crazy. I bought my car here for about $27,000 a couple years ago and now it’s worth about $35,000. I wish I could sell it and live car-free but it’s tough to live in Istanbul without a car.

Thank you for finally being honest with your net worth. I hope you get 5-10 million views on this video.

Congrats on the growth

Looking young for 40! 👍

Thanks!

A question made in humility: When you reach 2M net-worth, why not live abroad for several years instead? Maybe 5 years or so... It might be far more fulfilling to embrace how large the world really is. Just an idea.

[@veo16]

Made a life in Vietnam. Yearly spend is $30,000 with property owned as well. You’re on to one of the best kept secrets to living a full life. Going abroad is worth it!

[@FinalOutlaw]

@@veo16 Yea man, I discovered it by accident in recent years. Completely blown away at how you could live better than you ever could in the US with the kind of money you mentioned. Now I'm rethinking the whole thing and keeping an eye on the globe trying to figure out where in the world is the best place to spend the next 5-10 years of my life because why not? It's refreshing to be someplace where nothing is as you're used to. And to be around different attitudes toward life... gosh man... that alone makes an enormous change in your soul. I love where I'm from, but I'm so exhausted by all the spoiled outlooks on life.

Happy 40th. I feel you on the age - I turn 40 in January. Glad you’re owning it, life is too good 💞.

[@BeatTheBush]

You know what? I feel good about finally revealing it.

[@mturzo]

Most of your videos are super helpful and helps me towards achieving FIRE. And I always wondered your age and networth. Thank you for coming out of the bush ☺️ and sharing. Your a legend 🙂

[@lizzyq-r8062]

40 isn't old 😂

[@BeatTheBush]

Glad to hear it. =D

Attempt At Adulting It’s old when you realize you qualify for AARP benefits in 10 years. At 46 I have 4 short years before qualifying. 50 is young, but getting senior discounts at that age tells you you’re almost over the hill.

I’m 33 and I feel young... but 25 year olds tell me I’m old... which makes me feel old.

How can you only spend $20k/year, when property tax in bay area for $1M home is already about $10k/year?

Great videos I’ve been following you for years since the beginning.

[@mileshardeem2375]

Thanks for sharing BTB, really appreciate it, gives me good idea of actual numbers and a real scenario between your various videos understanding approximately what you earned at your job and so on. I make 56 grand a year, and am trying to evaluate how to retire as early as possible but leaning heavily towards the FAT FIRE side. I don't think retirement is a great idea unless you have enough to continue to grow net-worth in retirement. I didn't realize just how big your home value was relative to your total net-worth. Its basically half, super amazing. Congrats on that growth, you basically gained around ~600k in home value in less than 10 years. Very cool inspiring me to make a similar excel sheet to track values so I can monitor growth. I recently bought a home and rent to a buddy so that helps minimize the cost of owning a home significantly but need to increase my income as well. I am 33 (88 baby) at this point multiple miracles would need to happen for me to manage to retire by your age haha. Love the irony of your merch being 'don't buy it' but of course you want us to buy your merch hahaha. Keep doing what your doing sir! Live life grow the net-worth and do more stuff with your money as you have more expendable income and SHARE with us! :)

Are you thinking about moving out of CA?

[@BeatTheBush]

Yes, thinking about it but not sure where I will be comfortable.

[@jacejunk]

Try somewhere without property taxes if still desiring to have no mortgage.

@@BeatTheBush I live in Idaho. You are welcome here. You can buy a very nice home here for a fraction of what you in equity in CA.
