A man who retired at 34 says he can hardly find ways to spend the money he has

http://www.businessinsider.com/money-doesnt-buy-happiness-2017-8?google_editors_picks=true

Brandon retired last summer at age 34.

• Thanks to a side project, he ended up with extra income he didn't know how to spend.

• He's found so much happiness in the financial independence lifestyle that he's concluded spending more won't make him happier.

When Brandon retired in the summer of 2016, he was 34 years old.

I ever did when I worked. I got a fairly nice retirement from working a job represented by the USWA. Unfortunately few Americans in future generations will be able to say that.
