Re: RoamingFrancis' Journal
I want to keep locksmithing. I wasn’t passionate about it at first, but I am now. I’ve been entering flow states while locksmithing that feel great. And it’s kinda fun learning how to break into buildings :D A potential career goal could be to get paid to break into a bank, as in a white hat hacker...

Re: Buying a home without a job after retirement
If you are buying into a coop you may need to apply to the board and get approved before purchasing. The application process can be rather intrusive. That said, they must follow fair housing rules so they cannot discriminate the usual categories. In many states, including Arizona, source of funding ...

Re: "How to Drop Out"
The article doesn't answer the question of how these people spend their free time and their life in general. It spoke about how having a trust promotes long term thinking and prioritizing value and what that might look like in practice *when it comes to financial assets*. Those two principles that ...

Re: "How to Drop Out"
Byron Tully pulls a few threads together in his article Why Are Old Money Guys & Gals So Frugal? and goes into some reasons how the convergence in approaches might occur. It would turn out living off one form of irreplenishable capital might just do that to you. I recognized three people in my ...

Re: Ego's Journal
Last Friday, one of the used food vendors showed up with a car overflowing with groceries. She was having trouble unloading as some of the boxes were very heavy, so I gave her a hand. As I unloaded the boxes, I took out the things I wanted and piled them by her car. One of the items was a case of ka...

Re: mush journal: 2024, week 10
As much as I believed in my steps to reach the top of the ladder, I actually can't handle full-time jobs . It's a great evolution to be able to get hired, but it's of no use because I hate full-time jobs. I hate them I hate them I hate them. Voilà. Me too. Full-time jobs drain all of my energy and ...

Re: Ego's Journal
Dunno if it's universal, but many Chicago museums have specific days of the year where entrance is free for in-state residents. Only downside is that schools like to hit those (typically week)days as well. The museums in the park do something similar with rotating Tuesday's free, but they get absol...

In our city they offer tickets to some really good events including the ballet, university sports events an...

Re: ERE City homesteaders vs ERE Hostel Hub nomads (an AQAL perspective)
I see ERE City as a solution for those who aren't satisfied with getting their interobjective fix on a part-time/hobby time-schedule as set by the rest of the world. Have you experienced this elsewhere? If not, can you think of other examples where it existed for others with similar characteristics?

Re: Zeihan predicts end of growth everywhere except North America
The current shift, which is already underway, is reshoring manufacturing. The high-end stuff to the US where energy production has been trending cleaner for a while now. Northern Mexico is already seeing a huge boom. New plants there are less polluting than their Chinese counterparts and the region ...

Re: Nomadic-ERE Year 5 - Wanderlust Prevails
Nice. You sent me down another Thailand rabbit hole. We are going back on the next trip. Thanks! Unfortunately, we don't really have the ability to cook due to our accommodation choices in many situations. This means purchasing more food from warungs (local eateries), or going to a fancier supermark...

Re: ERE City (US)
Literally basically only San Diego / SoCal is like that in the US. So you did win in choosing that already. Interesting how few places in the world meet our criteria. Strangely, for a few years in the early 00s we alternated between six months (spring/summer) in San Diego and six months (spring/sum...

Re: ERE City (US)
While I very much value ERE and the people here, I can't imagine that the benefits of moving near other EREers would be greater than the benefits I get from living in a place where I have a deep network. There would have to be a really, really, really, good reason to move. Either things go disastrou...

I've seen the mothership model work well and continue to do so in the instatok age. People visit for a while, then go back to their home communities to translate the experience into something locally palatable. Really interesting experimentation happens at the edges of these communities. Soi Taied (...

Re: ERE City (US)
It is useful to find examples that have worked in the past and replicate. I like it. I also like the idea of an ERE caravan/road trip. Escapees RV Club and Vagabundos del Mar Baja Travel Club are two clubs that have done something similar. I knew the managers of the Vagabundos, Fred and Gloria Jones...
