2025-2030 Five Year Plan

Should not be updated more often than once every 2-3 years

Main Goals

  1. Be Happy
  2. Stay on target for a 2040 / Age 56 retirement date. (~$75k/year in passive income in 2025 USD)
  3. Write that LitRPG Novel that I never seem to finish
  4. Build out that Nation Grand Strategy Roleplay game I never seem to get where I want in actual play
  5. Share my personal code / infrastructure / etc with the world in the hopes my experience and choices are useful to someone.
  6. Maintain my health where it is beyond a bit of weight loss and less insomnia/naps.
  7. Write that LITRPG I've never gotten around to.
  8. Build some sort of side project income that is meaningful (i.e. 5 figures a year) to my bottom line.

Retirement Monitoring

  1. Yuma, AZ, USA -> Mexico medical tourism reasons
  2. Manilla, Philippines

  2. Document things that are normally considered personal publicly

  1. Personal infrastructure maintenance schedule is easy to maintain
  2. LitRPG and/or National GSRPG does its first public release.
