Matt | The Mini-Retirement Maximalist

I recently returned from ~2 months of traveling. Italy. Wyoming. Montana. North Dakota. Not for work. But to appreciate life beyond the office. Here are some of the small moments I’ll never forget... And why you can’t afford to wait for “someday” (click here & scroll) ↓

@JinJung That is an awesome picture!

I never knew how small I was until I started travelling. There is so much more to life than a 6.3-inch screen. Go Explore.

@andyturner @thejustinwelsh Heraklion. No car, but can easily rent one.

@MiniRetireMatt @thejustinwelsh Where are you based Matt? Car?

A very underrated life skill is being good at doing nothing without feeling guilty.

@CoachRolfes Sweet set-up!

Movie night in backyard. 🍿

@SavingsCaptain Interesting.

This is what Tesla FSD makes possible A few months ago a Georgia man was having a heart attack while driving, and his Tesla’s FSD plus his son’s remote rerouting got him to the hospital fast enough for treatment. Doctors reportedly said the outcome could have been fatal if he had waited for 911.

@Sharifflutfi Thanks! Likewise.

@MiniRetireMatt This was at Mitato. Part of a resort. But I bet these kind of places are over the place in Crete. Have fun!

Day 6: Frankfurt → Heraklion “$100,000 a year is poverty wages” Heck, I make a little over $100k a year It never occurred to me I'm living on poverty wages Especially since I live in NYC, pay the mortgage (not the rent), and will spend the next 4 weeks on the island of Crete

@darrelltalksfi I believe so as well!

@MiniRetireMatt You seem to be doing just fine!

@BTCoptioneer I am definitely trying my friend!

@MiniRetireMatt Living the life

@khan_neba Ah, understood. Thanks for sharing. And have a great time!

@MiniRetireMatt Ah okay. I’m currently visiting in Frankfurt (oder)

Day 5: Frankfurt The desire to quit working and finally retire is getting harder to ignore…

@andyturner @thejustinwelsh Oh, is that right? Any recommendations Andy?

@MiniRetireMatt @thejustinwelsh One of my favourite places. So much to see all over the island.

@e72319143 Right on! Noted. Thank you for the recommendations!

@MiniRetireMatt I went to Amnissos & Ammoudara Beaches 15-20 minutes from Heraklion

@BoomerDivvies Thank you sir!

@MiniRetireMatt That looks great, you guys are gonna have an amazing adventure.

@RyanJoseph Agreed. There is no point. Have them, like, tell a super short story or something.

The most interesting thing about ai generated videos is: stop making them. they suck.

@RyanJoseph I saw #17 before I read the content and said to myself, "That's him!"

Circa 1992 The vaunted Green Sox were getting ready to do work. #17 in the photo. #1 in your hearts.

@JinJung Thanks my friend!

@MiniRetireMatt I hope you are enjoying your trip Matt!

@danromriell I'm sure. That one guy in particular, I believe, just gave up on X. From one day to the next, he simply disappeared.

@MiniRetireMatt There are a lot of them. What happened to the guy?

@e72319143 What beach or beaches would you recommend?

@MiniRetireMatt Crete is beautiful, loved it, phenomenal beaches 🏆
