Older red pill guys. What do you reckon a man in his 20s should aim for by 30-35?

Own your own place in a good city
Make good money, preferably run your own business
Have a portfolio of smart investments that will pay off later in life
Be muscular and healthy, including eating well
Be excellent in multiple non-work related areas, I’m polymusical for instance
Be well-travelled, appreciate other cultures

I'm 33 and my suggestions are:

Keep your life relatively lean. Flexibility is worth more than the various forms of cruft out there
The 3 key pillars to a good life are: Health, Wealth, Relationships. These are objectively proven and inarguable
Personally I add Charity and Self Examination to this list. Charity seems to build the sense of inner morale, and development towards a greater good better than any regular type of hobby. Self Examination is the tool I use to ensure I'm staying sharp where it counts and making consistent progress.

Really, if you read my "CorporateLand" series on the sidebar from top to bottom you're going to find a wealth of information that you will find useful as you get older.

Not older red pill guy, but thought I would share my thoughts. In my mid to late 20s. Although I wanted to give you my perspective, I’m curious what these older guys think of my plan.

A man who puts in the work will begin reaching the upper echelons of his earning potential by mid-30s. My goal is to pay off debt, invest money, and build up equity in a house. The plan is to start looking for investment opportunities, such as real estate. And then just continue spinning plates who are in their young to mid-20s.

After getting into the early 40s, look for a woman who is wifey material if I haven’t already found one. Although I’m also open to staying single, I’ve always wanted kids. If I get married, get a prenup of course. And just continue investing and growing my wealth. By the time I get into my 50s, have enough to FIRE, not lean but full on FIRE. Get some land somewhere if I don’t already have it and enjoy fishing and hunting while my money makes me money. Find a chick who likes to do that and just enjoy the rest of my life.

If you are in your 20s this is what you should be doing:

1) working out, maintain good diet - this is a lifelong habit

2) Living situation - rent don't buy. You need to be mobile so you can easily pursue opportunities and not be tied down by location (a house and mortgage). Buy a house once you get married.

3) relationship - spin plates or multiple LTRs until peak SMV 35 to 40 yrs. Again, stay mobile don't get tied down. Don't get anyone pregnant. Women will suck the ambition out of you. You will need this ambition for your career. See below.

4) Finances - start saving money, learn to control you wants so you don't spend on stupid stuff, learn and practice investing.

5) Career- This is the big question that a lot of you are asking. Ideally, you want to end up in a high paying position or owning a lucrative business. It does not matter one bit what field you are in. All fields and industries have their share of millionaires. During your 20s and early 30s I consider this the training period. This is when a man starts working and starts to learn how things work. Regardless of what industry you are in, learn EVERYTHING that there is to learn about your job, your company, your industry, your competitors, your products and services, FUCKING EVERYTHING. Work your ass off, all the fucking time. Become a worldwide expert in your little piece of the business world. Create value for your employer, chase opportunity, knowledge and experience. If you do this, you will grind out a millionaire income and lifestyle. This is how most rich people become rich. Most of us are not pro athletes or pop stars. Most of us will not invent the iphone. Most of us will be plumbers, electricians, accountants, i.e. Mike Rowe dirty job guys. The trick is to set yourself up to be the owner of a plumbing company with 100 employees and not the plumber. This is done everyday by people. But it is only done by the most ambitious, prepared and hardest working. You don't fall into success. Also, the work and grinding comes first, success comes much later. The world is FULL of opportunity. But there is a real shortage of people willing to do the work to capitalize on the opportunity.

Build more muscle than you are thinking (natural growth is best). Keep savings, make a portfolio. Stay single with no kids. Nurture intellect. Never fall for self-victimisms / marxism (listen to ex-communists if you need to) Be redpilled of course. Find a purpose, keep reviewing from time to time (being an aficionado to philosophy makes extra points on this one) Learn to cook, it will be very useful to diet and yet do tasty food to improve shape and looks and rise your SMV with women when you call them for dates at your place

FlyingSexistPig · 2019-09-12T12:37:03+00:00

Meet people and make friends. Treat people better than they deserve.

Be excellent. This starts with you and your body. Go to the gym ~~and adopt a diet that keeps your body fat at around 8% or lower.~~

edit: I've been corrected by people who probably know better than me.

Running your own business, which means starting NOW. Take a business/finance class at a local college, find a mentor, and take on one client. From there you can lay the groundwork to handle the growth when it happens.

Totally agree with travel. I know some pretty successful people who don't travel because a) they don't see the value and b) they would rather spend their money on a flat screen TV. Each to their own, however these people seem pretty stunted to me. People who don't travel are just plain odd.

Have 10+ years of lifting experience

I'm 35.

get rich. get valuable skillset that pays well or start your own business. Make your time valuable.

dont spend money on things that don't matter like fancy cars when you are cash poor. your body is your asset, keep it fit and take care of it. i would trade everything i have to be physically 18 again. Don't under appreciate what you have by focusing on what you don't.

spend money on travel > it's enjoyable and it expands your mind.

value your time properly.

Bruchibre · 2019-09-12T08:17:16+00:00

N-count > 30, a couple of non recognized kids running here and there, no official kid, some long term investment (real estate, stocks).
