Great parallel, Joe! I’ve been blogging for just over 2 years now, but I’ve been so inconsistent with it that I’ve had a hard time building up momentum. I hope the sun shines long enough for me to start making some hay!

Thanks, Cody! Reaping more than we sow is what makes it possible to Get Rich Quick’ish 😀

On a timeline I got started just a couple of years before you did. I’m 2 years into my 10 year FIRE plan (I’ll be 42 this December); goal is to FIRE before I hit 50. I want to be able to say I retired in my 40s!

I think about the early start I didn’t get all the time. Had I discovered FIRE in my 20s I’d be done by now! Oh well, I’m just glad I got my act together when I did, otherwise I’d be looking down the barrel of 25 more working years instead of 8

It took a long time to build up my blog before I started making some income. Now the income is good and I’m reaping the benefit of the work I put in. The income is good now, but it probably won’t stay this good. We have to make hay while the sunshine. I bet the blog income will drop quite a bit when we get a recession. The same applies to regular jobs too. There will be a time when you can’t or don’t want to work at that job anymore. You have to save for the rainy days.

I have always loved that Thomas Edison quote. The law of the harvest is so simple, yet so profound. I also loved that you pointed out that with our money, we can actually reap more than we sow.

Once I dedicated myself to mastering the rules of money and ditching sloth, I retired in a mere fourteen years. The only problem is that I began the law of the harvest when I was 42 years old. Moral of the story? Start young and honor the law of the harvest. Great freakin’ post, my friend. Bravo.

Financially speaking, this was so true for me. While I didn’t completely waste my 20’s (financially speaking) I wish I had started a lot younger.

Great post today!
