The general path to FIRE is to save 50 to 70 percent of your income, invest those savings in low-fee stock index funds, and retire in roughly ten years. Common FIRE practices include living with roommates or moving to a cheaper area, cooking all meals at home, buying used cars with cash, going to a one- or zero-car household, buying groceries in bulk, embracing budget or "hacked" travel, and giving up luxury purchases. More extreme FIRE practitioners might live out of an RV or trailer home, grow their own food, bike to work in subzero temperatures, or even leave the country in search of a lower-cost lifestyle. [2019] - Scott Rieckens

We try to boost monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) closer to 50-55%, while cutting saturated fatty acids (SFA) down to 15-20% and adjusting total polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) to fill the gap.

After you deliver your message, your job is to begin questioning to find something that you have in common with the other person (home town, college, kids, sports teams). [2005] - Jeffrey Gitomer

I'm no longer a dogmatic advocate of any particular way of eating, such as a ketogenic diet or any form of fasting. It took me a long time to figure this out, but the fundamental assumption underlying the diet wars, and most nutrition research-that there is one perfect diet that works for every single person-is absolutely incorrect. [2023] - Peter Attia
