I’ll touch base with him next time he is back in town from sailing on his yacht and ask if he is better off.
He is my go to example, not the only business owner I know who has outright stated working for a living is dumb. It’s almost always people working in trades who evangelise the benefits of being a landlord to me, and who can blame them?
Work 20-30 years and be physically broken for whatever time you have left, or work for long enough to get the first 2 or 3 properties bought and then use that as a platform to become a full time landlord.
One of those options is definitely the less physically impactful. This is also the route to personal wealth for a whole lot of politicians, so they are far less likely to close the loopholes they themselves are using for personal enrichment.
