Sunday is for Sharing is a weekly roundup of my favorite articles, videos, and podcasts I read, viewed, and listened to over the past week.
This week features a doctor who quit his career to skate, an interview with a quant who earns $600k per year, and much more. Enjoy!

My Favorite Articles
Let’s Focus on What We Don’t Need Instead of What We Don’t Have
via No Sidebar
“How cool would it be to simplify our homes and focus solely on streamlining them? Make them more peaceful. Make them more aligned with a feeling of calm instead of worrying about buying or accumulating whatever we thought we needed before. For me, that’s living.”
Why “Don’t Worry About Money, Just Travel” Is The Worst Advice Of All Time
via Chelsea Fagan
“Someone needing to stay at a job they may not love because they have a family to take care of, or college to pay for, or basic financial independence to achieve, does not mean that they don’t have the same desire to learn and grow as someone who travels.”
How Much Money I Made During My Twenties!!!
via Gary Vaynerchuk
“There’s a lot of people that make 55 thousand dollars a year when they’re 23. The problem is they go to Coachella, and they want to buy a watch, and they want to buy a BMW, and I didn’t. I ate shit for 13 years, and then when I had an opportunity I struck. I’m ultimately patient. It’s what I do.”
How a Quant Does Money
via The Billfold
“There’s no way to sugarcoat the fact that it’s easy to be rich if you make $600K a year. But lifestyle creep occurs at all levels of income.”
Dividends for the Long Run
via Monevator
“It’s easy to look at some of the modern growth stock success stories, the massive wealth being created in Silicon Valley and elsewhere, and want a piece of that for yourself. It’s far less satisfying in the short-run to own a basket of slower-growth companies that may not operate in exciting industries.”
My Favorite Podcast
Think Save Retire – Selling Everything and Retiring to an RV
via Mad Fientist
An interview with Steve from Think Save Retire on retiring at age 35 to live in an Airstream with his wife and travel around North America.
That’s all for this week, thanks for reading 🙂
