Zach is the author behind Four Pillar Freedom, a blog that teaches you how to build wealth and gain freedom in life.

His favorite investment platform is M1 Finance, a site that allows him to build a custom portfolio of stocks for free, has no trading or maintenance fees, and even allows him to set up automated target-allocated investments.

LOL Rambo Day….looks fun!
Haha I know, that video cracked me up!
Mario, the cruise guy, has done what all the FIRE people have done – made a conscious choice to optimize his lifestyle to suit him. He seems to have those 3 factors that you identified before to lead a fulfilling life – autonomy, mastery, and community (Im assuming from people he knows on ship). More power to him. I just wish, for his sake, he would lose some weight and stop smoking. There are others doing same, for instance, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dWFKp-bJtk&t=44s

Mario has definitely identified the things he can’t stand doing (chores, laundry, housework, etc.) and eliminated those from his life completely. In that regard, he has done well. I just can’t help but wonder if the relationships he has are fulfilling or not, since he’s always moving from one ship to the next. His story is fascinating nonetheless.
Thank you so much for the shout-out! Hope you’re having a great start of the week. 🙂
Happy to share it, great article! Hope you enjoy your week as well 🙂
