About AltMethod

AltMethod is a weekly newsletter for people with a steady job who want that job to be optional.

Most money advice aims at retirement, at 65 or at 40 if you push hard. This one aims closer: enough runway and outside income that within a few years you could leave, loosen or relocate your 9-to-5, and then decide whether you want to.

The plan is the Freedom Flowchart, six stages done in order. Each issue covers one of them with real numbers, like what a bare-bones month costs in Miami versus Mérida, where to keep a 12-month fund, or how much side income it takes before it changes anything.

Nothing here is personalized financial or tax advice. When a link earns AltMethod a commission, the issue says so right next to it.

A new issue goes out once a week.
