Nah, listen, things can change. This may become a public transport commute, a walk, or you may not even go at all if you work from home. But what really sucks is when you are unemployed, and yes I speak from experience on all of these examples
I’ve been unemployed for two week and it doesn’t suck. I can do what I want when I want. What really sucks is eventually being broke after running out of money.
True. Most of us are just working to buy our financial independence. Having my own business is even more challenging.
I’ve been trying for more than a decade and still poor (doing better than before but still poor), but that’s still the plan for me.
30 would be nice, it’s more like 50
Nah, check out:
See also this motivational blog post that happens to lie at the intersection of the two.
TL;DR: change your lifestyle to (among other things) not need a car, then use the savings to retire early.
Well, you don’t have to. If you want to just save enough to buy some land you could work for just a few years then homestead from there.
Still a lot of work tho But also very tempting
Imagine not working from home

When you get the paycheck you’ll feel like it was all worth it.
(until rent is due and there’s nothing left)
That depends on your paycheck
It’s much better than going to school every day from 7:45 am to 7 pm and maybe even paying for it. Also school consists of more than half a dozen different subjects, of which you probably don’t even like half (PE, Art, German (native language), Social studies), and others are annoying to be relevant for your grades and therefore your life, such as Biology and Chemistry. Just Maths, Physics, English and History are somewhat good, because they’re easy and enjoyable (controversial take with Maths in there, ik).
I don’t get it. You do the same job for 40 years? Or is the issue having something to do for 40 years? I would be so bored without a job - actually I still get bored with a job and can’t imagine what I would do with even less on my plate.
So you have no hobbies at all? You exist to labor for others, eh? Well, if it works for you I will reserve my judgement.
I get that, I used to work with an old timer +65 and their job made them feel useful. They told me that otherwise they’d be drinking beers and cruising on demand media. I hope he’s still out there doing exactly that. Personally I’d rather be murdered than work until I’m dead.
