    I agree but I do believe in children paying a bit of rent. If you let them live rent free completely then they get used to their full salary as disposable. If you are making 120k, you could contribute 500 to rent to your parents and then use the rest to pay off loans or save up for a house of your own.

    …these guys are simply fantastic and made me appreciate those early sacrifices and efforts I made on frugality that were not a popular choice. At 52, retired for over a decade and living a mortgage free life in the 94027 is an accomplishment to be proud of. So now I’ve got time to enjoy some goats in my farm in the foothills of San Jose too!

    There is one family of expenses that this man does not have to worry about which makes living in Sunnyvale (not a cheap place to live by any means) a comfortable experience. The guy lives with his mom. He has no rent, mortgage, or any other expense around home ownership / home leasing. 120k is a fantastic salary, but is really not that much when living anywhere near Silicon Valley.

    By having his company pay for his car, not having any rent, and not having any student loans because he got D1 scholarships, this guy has basically hacked the system. He barely has any bills. If he doesn’t get there through equity/sale of his company and if crypto doesn’t crash, he should be very rich very soon. Good for him. I make around the same amount as him but we have VASTLY different lifestyles, career goals, and investing strategies
