30 Things To Quit Before You're 50

30 Things to Quit Before You’re 50

Quit! And take control* of your life

If know there are things you need to stop doing to have a better quality of life, then you need my 30 Things to Quit Before You’re 50 free ebook.

And of course, the things you need to quit also apply if you’re 20 or 80.

This book has been adapted from my essay 101 Things I Know For Sure and other important life lessons I’ve learned along the way.

It includes necessary things to quit such as:

  • Thing to Quit #1 — Smoking, because it will kill you.
  • Thing to Quit #6 — Three meals a day, because you only need two.
  • Thing to Quit #17 — Spending money on crap, because savings means the freedom to please yourself. Have a Fuck Off fund.
  • Thing to Quit #22 — Thinking it’s too late, because it’s not.  Do that thing you want to do. You’re dead a long time.
  • Thing to Quit #29 — Caring what other people think, because they think about you hardly ever. Except when you’re rude or late.

*And by control, I mean enrich.
