Got it. I just bought 14% of a medium-sized rice farm in China. Thank you, trag

Maybe even start working part time at some point a few years before that.

That would be nice. I’m ahead of you on the mortgage but still don’t think there’s any way I’ll retire before 65

Can't imagine retiring. No way I make it to 65 anyway.

This is all foolishness, obviously. Twenty years from now the world isn't going to be a pretty place

Don't fear god
Don't worry about death
What is good, is easy to get
And what is terrible, is easy to endure

Your logic is pretty good, but you’ll want to diversify a bit. If you’re all in on a Roth (or any single market security) for the next ~30 years, you are super vulnerable to market risk.

What would you suggest?
