“Every $1,000 that you can earn in a year is worth $25,000 of retirement savings. Someone who can figure out a way to make a measly $5,000 per year on the side can get away with having $125,000 less saved up.”

“Engage in work you’re passionate about. As my financial need to work has waned, my desire to work has grown. What’s made the difference? Today, I only take on work that truly interests me.”
