I do get a little jealous too when I hear about some amazing paying jobs some friends get, or people who made a pile on bitcoins. It makes me want to even things out.

That was a force for me to chase FIRE though, not start embezzling. Jobs aren’t all equal and I was never going to conquer that so I should just stop having a job :P

It’s one solution :)

I felt sick to MY stomach anticipating his downfall!
He’s not sure what he should do after prison…I think he should write a book and go speak all over the world about his fascinating, heartbreaking, tortuous story.
Not to get political, but how many other fascinating life stories are locked up in prison cells? If we want convicted felons to be productive members of society, we should have them share their stories so others don’t make the same mistakes!
Thank you for sharing, J.

Haha only if he changed his “keeping up with the others” strategy! :)

I really liked the read.
Now none of this would’ve happened if he only knew about compounding! He could have become a millionaire off his 51k salary. :)
