Early retiree credits his $1 million net worth to these 7 ‘unpopular opinions’

How is he going to live off if $1 million the rest of his life?
Are you white? or arguing just to argue?Black people don't have the same luxury of job hopping like a white man. I've seen it numerous times. Are there exceptions? Sure, there's exceptions to EVERYTHING in life but in general he's right.
I never trust these stories, especially when the writer is white. You look at the details and you find bullshyt like "I lived in my grandmother's vacation house to save money on rent" or "I drove the late model car my parents bought me for graduation instead of buying an even later model car like those showboat minorities do"
And $1 million isn't enough to retire on at 36 unless you're REALLY frugal

He forgot an 8th opinion. It helps if you’re white.

So the fukk what? What's a nikka supposed to do, NOT job hop cuz he's not white? WHo gives a shyt what luxury a cac has, if a nikka wants to job hop then job hop. The risk ain't worth staying put
I don't have these discussions with white men. Y'all don't really get it.
Oh really?

How does your anecdotal evidence compare to actual gathered and collated data on the subject? Do you think because you have done well and some around you have too, that is the general outcome for all? Well the data actually shows that is not the case.

The life partner point is the absolute most important point. Nothing worse than being in a committed relationship/marriage and having money issues

I get it, I'm not scared enough to not job hop or tell the next black man to not do it if they have skills.
Wonder what these "financial moves" that people might disagree with were lol
No one said not to do it. What I said in particular is that it is not as certain as it is for a White man. If the opportunity arises, then do it. Unfortunately, that opportunity generally will on average be less when you are a Black man. That is why I wrote that our path has more considerations than the writer's path.
He never explained what his dividend & bond interest payments amounts were, so It may be possible that he receives more from his investments per year than he did from his previous occupation.
