Retire by 40 while traveling America

As far as career choices if I had a do-over today I'd go here for free.


I'd do a 4-year nursing degree with no loans. I'd work at Branson's hospital night unit (study at work) for $40/hr while doing an online 2-year nurse practitioner degree. You'll be out in 6 years making $200k with no debt. I'd start saving then by maximally contributing to my 401(k) Roth in the S&P 500 (e.g., FZROX). I might retire by 39 years old.

I'd travel the country in an RV while doing telemedicine.

A nurse practitioner degree is civilized. Being a doctor is, as they say in the south, "like a knife fight in a ditch."

The phrase "after many days" highlights the importance of a long time horizon, a cornerstone of successful investing. You don't get rich overnight; you build wealth over time. Verse 2: "Inve...

The book of Ecclesiastes offers a profound exploration of life's vanities and uncertainties, culminating in a call to wisdom and prudent living. Ecclesiastes 11:1-6, in particular, provides a set of proverbs that, while seemingly disparate, offer a cohesive guide for navigating the uncertainties of life, particularly in the realm of investments and financial decisions. These verses resonate deeply with modern investment strategies, encapsulating principles that echo the wisdom of diversification, risk management, and persistent effort. Verse 1: "Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days." This verse speaks to the principle of long-term investment and the patience required for returns.
