I sort of botched the announcement on the front page because I queued posts in the wrong order-- but I'm going to be at Casa De Luz at 7:15pm this Thursday, the 23rd. If you're in Austin and you want to meet up-- this is the time to do it! In the past year I did a San Francisco meetup and a Tokyo meetup, and both were full of really cool people.

I'm fairly experienced in earning massive amounts of airline miles and converting them to awesome first class flights around the world.
For the Japan trip, I flew ANA First Class in their new suites to Tokyo and Cathay First class on the way back. I've flown 4 Lufthansa First class international flights, and once on Singapore Airlines First class. Of course a few biz class flights as well.
Ben took the video above during the Japan trip. It offers a brief overview, but I'm here to answer any specific questions you have to taking advantage of flying in style (or simply flying a ton for virtually free).
Ask away!
I have a FREE new e-book available for my readers. I think a lot of the themes of it resonate with some of the readers on here so I hope you like it. It's a cross between The 4 Hour Work Week and The Art of Non-Comformity. I hope you like it and look forward to your feedback. It's available here: http://eepurl.com/zEger Enjoy!

What are some great books yall have read? Looking for new books to add to my kindle. Thanks!
Going to gym six times a week:Gym is an amazing thing and I plan to take my gym sessions to the next level.Last summer I went to gym six times a week three hours a day the results were astonishing i doubled my force and increased my muscle mass.I will write details for my progress in a special section I have created in "MS OneNote".Of course I will update my progress in these posts now and then.Exception are made to this goal when I m on vacations and trips .
I'd rather chop off a limb than read financial books right now. I wouldn't even know how to go about investing in any kind of stocks or bonds and don't really know what other possible avenues I have to choose from other than starting a business or buying property to rent to tenants. Currently, my money is rotting in a checking account, at the very least, I should put it in some kind of high interest account to defeat inflation. I've felt overwhelmed lately with personal projects and what to do with my life, and this keeps getting put on the back burner.
I remember Ty's post on Lending Club, how's that going? Peter Parker, you're with Prosper, right? I'd be happy with consistent 10% returns, is either of these two sites safe enough to dump a majority of my cash into?
Background info: I'm 30 years old, live in the Rialta, probably spend under $700/month on normal expenses (super frugal, not glamorous at all), 2-months unemployed by choice and living off what I have saved: a little over $32k, engineering drop-out, don't seem to have many high-paying skills, and don't know what I'll do in the future as far as making income. I'm not a dumbass, but I'm not a "runner" as Tynan might put it, and I don't know if I can change that... I don't want to work forever. I love my leisure time. I guess it's different if the projects you love are making money... maybe that's another discussion. Along with Tynan's goals, being able to bank a few million and comfortably support a family would be awesome, but I'm not that hopeful; fortunately, I don't seem to mind living very simply and without kids (for now at least...). My goal might be making $1-2k/month passively. Some of the entry-level oilfield jobs here pay well, $1900/week for driving a truck a limited amount of hours for example, so I might consider putting up with that for a year or two, but I still need to find out what to do with that money. Thanks everyone. Great job with SETT and your whole blog, forum, & book history, Tynan; we're lucky to have you.
In my opinion there is nothing more religious than having good health. I'm sick and tired of meeting so called, "religious people", that use Christianity as a crutch to defend their laziness.
Using religion as an alternative to exercise is a cope out, and it's a bullshit excuse. You need to workout consistently and take your health seriously for your entire life.
Almost half the bible talks about health and disease. There are numerous stories about lepers, disease, blind people, and infant mortality. The world didn't always have modern medicine and hospitals like we do today, and even in the year 1900 the life expectancy in the United States was only 50.
Check out the books I've written on Living in an RV, Meeting Girls, and Traveling the World.
