I may be wrong but I think the longer females wait to have children the more health risks they accumulate for themselves and the child(ren).

Isn't a large reason for India being vegan due to Hinduism/religious beliefs about cattle/animals being re-incarnated humans?

I am extremely interested in veganism but currently I purchase free-range eggs and grass-fed beef from a neighbor. I have Celiac disease and I'm lactose intolerant so the only dairy I consume is butter.

I cook with butter/tallow/bacon fat but eat 6+lbs of grass-fed beef a week. I hunt deer/elk and fish salmon/bass, as well.

I use the whole animal (organs) and hunting/free-range/grass-fed is the most ethical way I can think of consuming animals while respecting the earth.

I absolutely hate modern agriculture and want to buy land where I don't touch a thing and allow ruminants to live as freely as they want, then hunt what I need.

What do you see wrong with my lifestyle?

I've looked into a plant-based diet but I still have a lot to learn though! I'm definitely open to it.

Cannot agree more.

I will have personally invested $110k (by 2019) at age 23. All of my retirement accounts (401k, T-IRA, HSA) are invested in ETFs (0.06 expense ratio average) and a few actively managed funds with 20+% returned from 3YR-5YR view.

The rest is invested in individual stocks and high-risk mutual funds. Once I am 30, I will start pumping more into ETFs (stocks and add in bonds).

I absolutely love the advice. Everyone is different but I try to be as risky as possible with at least 40-50% of my portfolio until I am 30.

Two possible changes to my strategy will be if I build a good software product/business that makes more income. I will divert the money put into risky investing and dump it into my products/business. The other change is buying a home ($100-250,000). I want to raise backyard chickens!

I'm 23 so please excuse my ignorance. I've been struggling with the marriage benefits personally. There are the extra single taxes, rates for insurance, etc.

However, in the US, with the amount of divorce (alimony / child support) it seems less than optimal to view marriage as an asset.

Or am I totally off the mark?

I'm currently working on this. In 2016, I saved 60% ($36,000). In 2017, I saved 65% ($42,250). This year, I am working on saving 70%-75% ($46,200). I'm 23 and planning on transitioning from devops to a software engineer role by 25-26 (working on the skills I lack!). I never need anything and am extremely content! I think I might be able to get to 80% but that will cut into some things, so still working on 75% for this year.

Tangent: I've been looking more into longevity and I've noticed "minimal exercise" is a theme. What does this mean to you?

I'm currently around 20% bodyfat. I eat healthy, drink when thirsty, sleep 7.5-9 hours, walk/bike as much as transport and do "convict conditioning" workouts 3 days a week. Outside of that, I don't "workout" but I am active in chores, hiking, etc.

All my friends are extremely invested in fitness and all sub-15% bodyfat. I am very disciplined but I try to focus more on nutrition than fitness (I cheat too much!).

I'd love more insight and if you had studies on this I'd love to learn more about efficient/minimal exercise.
