The goal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self ownership through entrepreneurship. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Eagles fly solo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"selfie<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Fly solo. You then gain EXTREME RESPONSIBILITY for your life\u00e2\u20ac\u201d all your successes and failures are only attributable to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Money<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Minimum viable income <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First principle:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your minimum viable income<\/a>, towards a universal basic income<\/a> for yourself?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The goal ain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t to become rich<\/a>. The goal is to gain freedom<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t own a phone. No phone bill. No expensive smartphone bill. You can still own a smartphone, just use it with WiFi.<\/li>
  2. No subscription services. No Spotify, Netflix, Amazon prime. Certainly no cable TV or other superfluous subscription services. <\/li>
  3. Extreme frugality: Make it sexy. Just buy a few expensive things (all merino wool clothing and a good laptop and camera), and go cheap on everything else. Meat for 99 cents a pound (pork, chicken). Make coffee at home. Work from home.<\/li>
  4. Live like a poor college student. Or move to Vietnam (Hanoi<\/a> or Saigon<\/a>) and live on the cheap. Mexico City<\/a> also good. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
