Got the idea from this thread. This year, I saved 12-14x my living expenses and had a pretty strong year in a few other areas, like fitness. I can definitely improve on those levels and other levels. I want to keep a list of my five year plans, add or expand on them in time, in addition to considering what to do this immediate next year.

2016:
* Save 15x my living expenses.
* Create 10 new sources of income. A minimum of one of these should be at least 70% international (not local).
* Meet international RVFers, who may happen to be in town or visiting a near town. If there's a way to subscribe to a keyword on the meetup forum, this would be ideal, as I could get an email alert when an RVFer is in town.
* Get more details about Cancun. If NC is right, Cancun might be a good place to start one of my businesses.

5-Year:
* No more news, social media, etc. After reflecting over some things on my time off, even the "responsible side" doesn't realize how it's being used for corrupt purposes. Most people will be slaves in the long run; this is inevitable the more I learn about history.
* Start a location dependent business which brings the people I value around me. I have found a few ideal locations and I think there's a bubble to the "location independent lifestyle" in that people are accepting low wages to make it happen, while wages for location dependent jobs are paying more and more (seeing this trend). I like the idea of building one of my businesses in a spot, but for people who I value. This is like an automatic social circle of people I respect that creates a community.
* Save 100x living expenses.
* Build my own school and share it with others. I want this to be free, while also providing a way for the people teaching to earn an income or value in some way. I think this is a great long term challenge.
* Start a red pill blog where I keep accountability on my progress and observations. I don't know if this next year is the time to do this; I may do this after this year, depending on my progress on 2016's goals.

I may add to the latter list in time if I think of something else as I learn about the above items.

Good luck. How have the first two weeks gone?

Wow, you read my mind, I was about to update this.

I have two products on deck (one physical). I really want a physical product sold at Walmart; I know it sounds crazy, but I think the feeling of seeing something that I own being sold at one of the most popular stores would be a great feeling. After I graduated college, I made it my goal to invest in stocks all over the world because I wanted to feel that my money was always working. That still has been the most awesome feeling ever (still have them too), so I know that having a product at Walmart will be great.

Been looking at the Meetup on RVF and keeping my eye on my city. I know we're all about to have an international meet day, so that may be a good time.

Currently saving at a pace of 9x my living expenses. I slacked off in December (got a huge amount of dividends that month), so need to up my savings to expenses ratio.

Jotting down some red pill ideas about life in general for my eventual blog.

For dumping social media/news: I've reduced it quite a bit (using my browser history to compare), but have a lot of work ahead. I'm a lot more positive, so I can already feel the benefits of reading less social media and news.

Doing some accounting on current sources of income, as I want to continuously work to grow what can be increased with what I current have:

1 80-90% maxed income source
2 60-70% maxed income sources
2 10% maxed income sources
1 5% maxed income source
1 source that is completely uncontrollable (won't focus on this)
1 question mark

Presently, I have eight sources of income, five of which can be grown so I need to ensure daily that I do what can be done to grow these. Two of these sources of income are either completely out of my control, other than a set system, or are like the world of Loanbase, where it's new and will either be a great idea in the long run, or I'll lose everything.

By the end of this month, I am pacing to have ten (one physical) sources. Creating income source is one thing; optimizing them is another.

I'm slightly confused by 12x living expenses are you talking about 12 months of living expenses or 12 years?

Save 12x living expenses for a year. If my living expenses for a year are $50K, then I would have to save $600K for that year.

I'm sad about the meetup being cancelled, but I fully support why RooshV did it. It's amazing how people who threaten violence against a meetup like this are praised by journalists, when if it was inverted, there would be possible legal consequences.

Anyway, another goal to add for this year is to get to a reputation of 20 on this forum. I think after this event, many people have a right to be skeptical of others, even on this forum. It's hard to know who's legitimate and I haven't been here that long either.

Addition: I hope the good that comes out of this is that "on the fencers" realize who the real enemy is (media is part of this) and stop supporting it by linking mainstream articles. When advertising stops paying them, they're over.

We either vote with our dollars and actions, or we are guaranteed to fail.

Its really crazy, I've been seeing so many people who I would never of thought knew who Roosh was, post petitions on facebook to stop "Rape advocate RooshV" entering their country.
