Any other big things you should avoid other than renting out your time.

Yeah, there are two tweets that I put out that are related.

So the first one is talking about we are somewhat like how your lifestyle, you know, has to upgrade, shouldn't get upgraded too fast.

And that one basically said, people who are living far below their means enjoy a freedom that people busy upgrading their lifestyle, it just can't fathom.

And I think that's very important, like just to not upgrade your lifestyle all the time to maintain your freedom.

And it just gives your freedom of operation.

You basically, once you make a little bit of money, you still want to be living like your old self.

So that's just the worry goes away.

So don't go out to upgrade that house and lifestyle and all that stuff.

Let's say you're going to pay the $1,000 an hour.

The problem is that when you go into a work lifestyle like that, you don't just suddenly go from making $20 an hour to making $1,000 an hour.

That's a progression over a long career.

And as that happens, one subtle problem is that you upgrade your lifestyle as you make more and more money.

And that upgrading of the lifestyle kind of ups what you consider to be wealth and you stay in this wage slave trap.

So I forget who said it.

Maybe it was Nassin Talea, but he said, you know, the most dangerous things are heroin and a monthly salary, right?

Because they're highly addictive.

The way you want to get wealthy is you want to be poor and working and working and working.

And this is, for example, how the tech industry works where you don't make any money for 10 years and then suddenly in your 11, you might have a giant payday, which is why, by the way, one reason why these very high marginal tax rates for the so-called wealthier flawed because the highest risk taking most creative professions, you literally lose money for a decade of your life while you take massive risk and you bleed and bleed and bleed.

And then suddenly in your 11 or your 15, you might have one single big payday.

But then of course, Uncle Sam show up and basically say, hey, you know what?

You just made a lot of money this year.
