i swear this channel is absolute god-send for how living should be. it really helps turn my brain off of and helps me take a breath and realize what i have is enough. using up what i have is the goal, and life is beautiful this way.

[@spencers-adventures]

Thanks very much for the nice comment :) glad you enjoyed!

Added to my reading list. Indeed, most of us are not MMM, high 6 figure earning types. I'd like to retire by my 50s, so we'll see how this info goes towards that!

[@cookieforawookie]

sorry - what does MMM mean in this context?

[@rdenney360]

@@cookieforawookie Mr. Money Mustache, he's a blogger that retired early.

I may be one of those people that may never retire at all, and just want breaks in between working and relaxing. So for me to continue working, I was inspired by Joseph Barbara and William Hannah as they enjoyed what they have worked on up until they passed on and thus continued to work on different projects, even if it's the ones they didn't create or created years back.

[@seleciaa]

@@SuperFlashDriver I feel you. I guess I feel a bit tired as I've been working since I was 17. Retiring for me is more of "work part-time because I feel like it," "work when I want," or "dedicate a lot of time into passion projects regardless of how much I make." Though tbh, we don't know how long we'll be alive, so I'd like to do some of the passion work on the side while also doing my money-maker job.

[@SuperFlashDriver]

@@seleciaa That's the idea process I have too, but I do know there will be a time and place for myself to enjoy things again, before I go back to working on something to help keep me afloat. It's just that my mindset for work is merely just to see what would help me make some money to buy the things I can enjoy, but my passion would belong to a career that I've always wanted to do since I was 7, but forced to go through the K-1 just to get a high school diploma that only lasts as an authentic official documentation for three years before it expires. Either way, I also started working around the age of 17 in April 2013, but have been in a program that I passionately enjoyed since I was 14 years old in February 2010. For me, it's really the motivation and inspiration that drives me to commit to the work, even if I don't like it. But oh well, different people have different methods of working and retiring, but even if I retire, there's always going to be something brought up that I would personally work on compared to work places (aka "Solo Projects").

This is a great book. I had read the old classic “Your Money or Your Life” (Vicki Robin and Joe Dominguez) prior to ERE, and the two go well together.

[@kenttorres9465]

+1 I remember that book being good too. Puts your lifetime earnings into perspective.

[@captainnemonic]

I'm happy I stumbled on this. Great review. Adding the book to my list.

[@spencers-adventures]

I hope you enjoy it!

[@Luncheon23]

Agreed, it's an excellent book for frugal people who want to retire early. The blog too contains a lot of tips and information by Jakob on the same thing. Loved both book and blog!

[@spencers-adventures]

@@Luncheon23 I’m so glad to hear you’re a fan of ERE already! The book and blog have both been so transformative to my thinking since I found them - looking forward to sharing more on the ERE lifestyle in the near future :)

I read this book many years ago. I am a renaissance man according to the Jacob's rules, I even fix the plumbing by myself. Making money by repeating DIY projects make them less enjoyable. Fixing your bicycle every now and then is fine. Making money by fixing bicycles every day is a mundane job.

[@sylkylacole]

Will get the book! I just finished "this one wild and precious life" by Sarah Wilson! Amazing read!!!

[@spencers-adventures]

I’ll look that one up!

[@christianmotos]

Thanks for the recommendation! Spencer, I'm curious why you and other people who have these wireless Rode lav mics insist on holding it than clip it?

[@VladiDusil]

Spencer, thank you for your recommendation. I picked up the kindle version and am looking forward to reading it. Congrats on the 20k subs!

[@spencers-adventures]

Thanks buddy :) I hope you enjoy the read!

[@jenduck5520]

Love this book too.

[@diogomcampos]

Thanks for the recommendation. I am not interested at this point in such an extreme lifestyle, but I'm sure there's valuable learnings that can help me shape my own lifestyle.

[@spencers-adventures]

Yeah there’s lots of valuable nuggets throughout this book for wherever you’re at and looking to end up too! Thanks for the comment!

[@Kyla94934]

Ill request it from my library

[@adamwragg4606]

Sounds really interesting! I may have to pick it up. I doubt it will lead to much early retirement for us, having kids but we'll see. I think it's for mainly single people or people that are on the same wavelength in a relationship 😅

[@spencers-adventures]

I think there’s still a lot to take away from the book regardless of your situation buddy! Lots of great tips as well as mindset changes around spending to solve problems 👍

[@adamwragg4606]

@@spencers-adventures ah OK, that sounds worthwhile even if I may not be able to do much about it all, right now

[@spencers-adventures]

I think it’s a shoot for the moon and land amongst the stars type of thing! It’s pretty extreme but it can still give you some good inspiration for your own life 👍

[@adamwragg4606]

@@spencers-adventures haha! Nothing wrong with that, I mean you've already helped me in small ways in the tips on your channel so I'll have to buy it to add to those 😅
