RE: [Traveler Trying To Fit Back In] Thoughts on Nine-to-Five, Self-Made Prisons And How To Position Yourself To Win The Rat Race (And How I Failed At It)
Joe, LOVE this post man. I am living it right now. I'm in the rat race but it is because I will earn myself financial security to pursue my passions. Only 597 days to go to that wonderful day that I will finally be financially free!
Thank you :).
Holy shit, that's a long way to go :). When did you start? I got my job only in December and I already plan on quitting :D. (I also work in an Eastern European country so the wage is pretty shit, even though I earn "a lot' compared to the minimum wage here).
Tell me more, I am curious.
Do you at least enjoy what you are doing? The number is very specific. You either have a really well0calculated plan which you are executing (Awesome, Kudos :) ) or it was a joke number :).
Do you think it has to take you that long? Can you mentally survive that long?
Also, what is financial security for you? To me that would be not having to worry about paying for food and shelter and few other small bills.
It is an exact time. I will receive a good pension on February 3rd, 2019. Only took 20 years to obtain too, lol. I don't like it very much, but have moved into pretty comfortable office positions over the past 6 years or so.
That pension includes medical and also pays $2,000 a month for life starting the very next day. I will be 37.
I haven't wrote about it exactly, but https://steemit.com/freedom/@getonthetrain/this-place-is-a-f-cking-prison-on-planet-bulls-t-in-the-galaxy-of-this-sucks-camel-d-ck will show what I am thinking.
That is not bad at all. Especially if you can actually go anywhere in the word afterwards. In some places you'll be able to live extremely comfortably with it (even Europe).
I'll read the post tonight when I come home, cheers :).
Actually I see you are even posting your porfolio, so I'm sure there must be a post that I missed (I was basicallyl inactive since beginning of this year, thank you corporate job :D ) and that you can link me to :).
