I started investing into the market in 1994 at age 23….every month….autopilot….never stopped…..never sold. Result? Multimillionaire. It’s not sexy. It’s not clickbait. It just works over the long run.

It's never too late to begin....whether it be investing or getting fit. One year ago, I weighed +40 lbs more (red shirt pic) & was in poor shape. Fast forward a year....eating right, exercising daily, & lifting weights at age 54...best shape in 15 years. You can do it!

Big shout out to big island goats for the 6-pack of my favorite German beer today! We launch our new FI endeavor on January 27th. If in Indianapolis area, you will want to attend this free event... IndyFINE.org for details (X can create real life friendships)

A lesson I learned as a teenager when our family lost everything....

Congrats to my nephew Tyler Schweitzer on his marriage! Amazing wedding this evening on a cold, snowy night....

I've had several ask about my options results. Big change as I fired my IRA money manager as his results were subpar; nor could he sell options on the funds. I am now managing the account and selling more monthly options so I'll be sharing the results monthly, not weekly.

I traveled to China regularly for business from 2007 until 2023....I couldn't access Facebook there as it was banned in China. So why is this surprising? (I'm not on TikTok so I have no skin in this)

Thanks to Brennan Schlagbaum, CPA for donating a copy of his book to our first FI networking / meet-up event in Indianapolis. We had a sell out with some driving over an hour on a Monday night. Attendee Frieda won the book via drawing....and was very excited about it!

When I retired 13 months ago, I was overweight & out of shape as my job owned me 24/7. Now...in the best shape since 2010, my productivity in all areas is peak, including income (via investments). I had put wealth before health...now it's flipped & the results are astounding.

Some things I have discovered since I retired 13 months ago: 1. Laser focus on health & wellness (diet +exercise) 2. Appeal of being outside / nature 3. Stronger relationships / more friends 4. Waking up early / enjoying mornings 5. Collaborating with others on fun ventures

Nice dividend arrived overnight....

How did I become a millionaire by age 36 starting with nothing? Consistency & discipline....investing at least 25% of my income each month, year after year into growth index funds. The boring but safe way. Time in the market 30 years later, this has mushroomed into millions

There are many factors to becoming wealthy/FI. One to remember: not giving a f*** what others think of you. We were made fun of in our 20s & 30s for our frugality (cars, house, etc) but we didn't care. We had a vision: FI (reaching it in our mid 40s) Avoid the Joneses!

One of the best parts of financial independence is being able to put family, friends, and fitness ahead of a boss/work/business. Once you get a taste of being in complete control of your time, there is zero desire to go back no matter how big the offers are.

My recent Uber driver told me he's an immigrant from Uganda. He & wife work full time 9-5 jobs. He drives Uber as side hustle (+$40k). They bought their house for $250k in '17 & paid it off in '23. It's now a $ rental. They will rinse/repeat with new house. Very focused about $
