We're leaving Low Earth Orbit

Where are we in our journey?


The Method Works, as Jean Baptiste Grenouille noted in Grasse.


Lucilius is now safely past Low Earth Orbit, and since a few months he can count himself as robustly financially independent according to the 4% rule. 

Antinous is quickly picking up speed. He's soldering on, and he's armed with side hustles, and will touch Low Earth Orbit before the year's end. 

Even if we know the maths behind it, it's still surprising for us that this actually works. And that we now enter more into a period of building margin, rather than aiming for the lowest level of financial independence.

The shift in mood is large as well. 

Our take on work is that it should feel adventurous and fun. We've changed jobs when it didn't feel like we could put enough of our hearts in it. 

But now, with the first level of Financial Independence behind us, it is as if a new level of adventure, with an unusual calm and perspective is taking over.

Let's see what this will bring us.
