good pointsI think you are a little different than many Bogleheads who had corporate, academic, health care, or government careers. You invested in real estate, owned your own business, did something entrepreneurial. That's not the typical advice given here to many. Instead, it is get a high paying w-2 job with low risk of layoffs, a low cost retirement plan and preferably a pension. With a few exceptions such as yourself the forum is risk averse about entrepreneurship. If someone doesn't like working for other people I agree owning their own business is one possibility but it requires taking more risk than some want to do. The "retire early" crowd who quit their corporate jobs and then start businesses or buy/sell/rent/flip real estate play that mental game.What you describe Seems. . . Might be. . . "passive" and "institutionally submissive and conforming".
Bogleheads are anything but that:
well said
less I be misinterpreted (often am) as critical, negative, or condescending, and my praise for "bogleheads be missed.
The '"bogleheads" demograph lies at the higher end of the bell curve.What you describe Seems. . . Might be. . . "passive" and "institutionally submissive and conforming".
Bogleheads are anything but that:
Bogleheads are......(whether W-2 employees or p;rofessionals or anything else)
Proactive
Self Directed
Highly Intelligent, Educated, Intellectuals.
Ambitious
Deliberate
Data Driven (facts)
Knowledge Driven (anti-"amathia")
Autonomouse.
Leaders over followers, innovators.
Successful
Play to win: not in it to play defense.
etc.
huge thanks
you are one of the senior forum posters that I look forward to your input.
aloha
