I don’t have enough to retire on, but spent my last decade working on what I wanted. I worked on Formal Proof, until I realized the problem wasn’t the tech but the math-proof business model. (Academic mathematicians aren’t incentivized to write formal proofs.). I got an Econ degree. I’ve studied housing in Austin and advocated to loosen restrictive regulation that causes high rents. And I designed version 3 of Parchive. (You may know the previous version by its file extension “.par2”)
- aaronrobinson 2y agoThis is part of my life philosophy. The word retire needs to be retired. The concept of waiting until you have enough money to last you to an age you probably won’t live to before you start doing the things you want is bizarre to me, especially as your mental and physical capacity declines. Seize the day. Earn less doing something you enjoy more. Work a 4 day week. Take longer breaks between jobs.
