I just turned 30, and I would like to beat inflation, but a simple S&P 500 index fund doesn't seem aggressive enough to meet my needs, especially if I want to retire by the age of 35.

What highly aggressive investment strategies would you reccomend?

Old Theo inherited a little bit of money during the great recession. Not a lot, just 15,000$, or so.

Old Theo can't care about money.

Money is just a game. But Old Theo likes playing games.

So Old Theo plowed that money into the stock market. It can't go any lower, he said to himself.

Old Theo bought CVGI at 93 cents a share. Old Theo sold CVGI at 18.00 and change.

Old Theo didn't need to work. Old Theo didn't need to do anything. Old Theo holed up in his apartment and never came out.

He drank and cooked steak and wouldn't talk to any of his friends. He often considered jumping. Old Theo wished he was dead.

Because he didn't want for anything. He didn't need a job. But not having a job, is like not having a purpose.

And how could anyone ever want to exist, without a purpose?

So, Theo knows now. Theo knows that money ain't the point. Theo knows that purpose is the point. Purpose could only ever be the only point.

So Theo is a day older, and many dollars shorter. Because Theo wouldn't have it, any other way.

Because Theo kinda gets it now.

Money doesn't make you happy, but not having money makes one pretty sad.

Money can't buy happiness, but poverty can't buy you shit.
