Joseph and I have decided that we want to be in a position to retire early if we choose too. We’ve talked about our plans in one of our older YouTube videos where we talk about how we intended to reach financial independence in nine years despite currently being one million dollars in debt.

You know how sometimes, right around Halloween, you get a hankering for sweet, delicious, guilt-free brains but just can’t seem to find the right recipe? Well this jello brain is for you.
