Optimize With Brian Johnson | More Wisdom In Less Time

Continuing our series on how to build a bonFIRE, today we’re going to chat about The Big 3 of creating Financial Independence (and Interdependence) as we win the ultimate game of life, Realizing Eudaimonia.   Let’s flip open our copies of The Simple Path to Wealth by JL Collins for this wisdom-love.   As we briefly discussed in our last +1, JL is a tough-love, lovable Uncle kinda guy. He originally shared his “simple path to wealth” via a series of letters he wrote for his daughter. Those letters became a blog series.     Obviously check out the book and JL’s site for the deep dive (and, I’m a lover of wisdom not a financial planner so…), but here’s The Big 3 in a tiny nutshell. 1. Avoid debt. 2. Spend (WAY) less than you make. 3. Invest the rest. That’s it. Do that. Give it time. And… Voila.    Well, obviously there’s a LOT more to it than that.   But, as they say, the NUMBERS are simple. It’s the LIFESTYLE changes that are hard.   One more time:   1. Avoid debt.    Like the plague. Seriousl
