☆ 53-year-old early retiree: 3 things I regret doing in my 20s—'I wasted too much time and effort trying to be exceptionally original'
  + stars: | 2023-10-21 | by ( Kamaron Mcnair | In Kamaronmcnair | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
Trying to be 'exceptionally original'Both in his career and in his personal finances, Trias learned that it's not always worth it to try to stray from the norm. "In my 20s, I wasted far too much time and effort trying to be exceptionally original as opposed to being exceptionally competent," he says. He had the idea that you can only get ahead in your career by standing out or trying to re-imagine time-tested tactics. Thinking timing is more important than consistency"My greatest regret financially wasn't my spending, it was my thinking," Trias says. "I think trying to pay attention [to your net worth] month to month or even year to year is probably counterproductive," Trias says.

☆ American retiree says tipping etiquette is 'very different' in Portugal: 'I've never heard anyone complain' about not getting a tip
  + stars: | 2023-10-12 | by ( Alex Trias | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
But a family vacation to Lisbon, Portugal in 2015 changed our trajectory. But one of the most unexpected things about this country is how very different tipping etiquette is. Generally, tipping isn't widely practiced in all regionsIt would be unusual to tip a gardener, plumber or electrician. But in our eight years here, a waiter has only prompted us to leave a tip once or twice. I always tip 20% minimum since they are the only bar in Lisbon that knows how to make a proper Manhattan.

Moyo Studio | E+ | Getty ImagesSaving enough money to comfortably retire later in life may seem like a daunting, out-of-reach goal. The FIRE movement — which stands for Financial Independence, Retire Early — is built on the idea that handling your money super efficiently can help you reach financial freedom earlier. Boost your savings rateToday, the average savings rate in the U.S. hovers around 2% to 5%, Sabatier noted. But by saving about 50% of your income, the average person can reach financial independence in 10 years or less, Sabatier said. Reduce your cost of livingTo achieve a high savings rate, you need to reduce your living costs.
