If u retired at 53 , 12 years ago then we're the same age,65. I retired at 58 an I've enjoyed all7 years. I pan a little travel, an do lots of hobby workaround my property. I have a ton of projects .

@ChrisRalph

Yep. We are the same age. Retirement at 58 is still pretty good. Lots of folks can't afford it at 65.

As soon as one of my get rich schemes "pan out", I am joining you! I play the lottery every week, Vegas twice a year, Pokemon cards, penny stocks (lots of junior miners and explorers), it's only a matter of time... I'm joking, Dave Ramsey changed my life 15 years ago 😂👍

This comment made me laugh! I wish, oh I wish my husband would see the forest full of trees or fist full of gold. He hears me, completely agrees with me & yet can NOT make a good decision to literally save his life. Chris's wife and partner & yourselves too I assume, had more than a hand in how early retirement starts. I listened to Dave Ramsey for years now. in Northern California on the radio & now I listen to his podcasts. It's very difficult when you're married for 24 years and as adults have night & day outlooks on finances. I've given up! Stories like yours make me smile though.

@@nikkiloves78 Haha, a little at a time is the way to eat an elephant! Just keep heading in the right direction. In 2009 I was laid off, had mountains of debt with little to show for it, and almost declared bankruptcy to save the house. Today I am baby step 7 with almost no money worries whatsoever, in fact I was laid off a couple of months ago and figured I would just take the fourth quarter off for holidays and such, relax and get back to work next year 😁

i decided I am tired of making other people rich. Reason I got more into mining. While i go for other things (opportunistic about gold - will go for it if i find it looking for other things) and frankly while some is luck, it at least is luck I benefit from. Love the videos!

Hey CHris...I retired at the same age, just a different method. All I had to do was treat my body like it was rented for 30 years...:) Wrecked my spine. But I quit soon enough to spend what time my spine has left to go do what I want...like prospecting! Fortunately, with disability, we won't starve.

Great commonsense advice here Chris, thanks again. I have an unrelated question: Have you heard of Goldback currencies, and would you trust them?

@ChrisRalph

5 ай бұрын

Gold backed currencies are only as reliable as the backer. If the backer takes off once he has enough gold, you will lose all. It has happened in several instances with bitcoin already. When I was a boy, the US dollar was backed by gold. It isn't backed by anything now.

@glentomkins3426

5 ай бұрын

That's true in general. I'm thinking of a specific type of currency with the name Goldback, which I saw used in a small remote town on a video. They issue currency notes in the names of several US states which they claim contain 1/1000th of an ounce of gold or silver, and I've seen them sold for rather inflated prices by online retailers. Is there any way to know if their claimed gold content can be trusted?

Also we all believe that god loves us and wants the best for us, so if you are interested You can do your research to find out about (riba)s economical harms to individuals and society.
