The 12-Month Hustle: My Mission to Retire by 35
I just turned 34—and I've made a bold decision. In exactly one year, I'm going all in on the grind to build the kind of financial freedom most people dream of.
I just turned 34—and I've made a bold decision.
In exactly one year, I'm going all in on the grind to build the kind of financial freedom most people dream of. No fluff, no excuses. My mission is clear: retire by the age of 35. Not "coast" or "slow down"—retire, with the freedom to choose how I spend my time, where I work (if I want to), and what projects I say yes to.
This isn't about luxury or escaping work. It's about owning my time, removing financial pressure, and creating a future on my terms.
## How I'm Going to Do It
It starts with daily discipline. Every single day counts now. I've cut distractions, trimmed the fat from my schedule, and locked in a routine that revolves around one thing: building, shipping, and scaling.
### 1. Coding Every Day
Whether it's 6AM or midnight, I code. I'm building apps—real tools, real value—for real people. No more "one day" projects. Every idea gets shipped or scrapped fast. I'm using every ounce of my developer skillset to launch products that solve problems and generate income.
### 2. Multiple App Launches
This year alone, I plan to launch several niche, subscription-based apps—small but high-impact tools designed for creators, communities, and consumers. Each one is another stream of income, another step toward financial independence.
### 3. Monetization from Day One
No more building for "someday revenue." I'm implementing Stripe on day one. Every app I launch will either be free with premium upgrades or paid with trial options. My goal is simple: recurring revenue, fast feedback, constant iteration.
### 4. Relentless Marketing
Building is only half the battle. I'm learning how to market every app launch like a campaign—creating content, engaging on socials, documenting the journey on my YouTube channel (Vibe Coding), and building community along the way.
## The Reality Check
This isn't a "get rich quick" scheme. It's a get free fast hustle. I'm not waiting for the perfect opportunity or the ideal investor. I'm betting on what I can control: my time, my skill, and my mindset.
One year. One mission. Retire by 35.
