Thanks Chuck! I should have included you guys as examples of life-long crushers.

Absolutely Briana! I’m glad someone offered the counterpoint. I always hesitate on a post like this for that reason. That’s why I’m a fan of gap years and periods of exploration. I had one as well before grad school, where I worked in the restaurant industry and attempted to figure life out.

I may now be a decade behind you in my path to FI, but I wouldn’t trade the time I spent exploring the world and myself in my 20s for anything.

As a retired geezer and a full time traveling rock climber (age 66), I’m incredibly happy that I maintained a balanced work/play lifestyle so that I could retire and live on the road full time comfortably at this advanced age. While I may not be as athletic or strong as I was in my 20’s, the challenge is still uniquely rewarding and gratifying. Trust me, becoming a senior citizen happens faster than you can imagine. While it’s important to enjoy every moment, it’s equally critical to set aside a little cold hard cash for the future!
