@rez And I even linked the original post in the first sentence.

@rawrhaxx Not relevant but by living in these countries

@techo So where are they? What about people our age that are not working in tech? Not everyone is a meta engineer with a $400k salary. BTW someone will probably say the same thing about us in 20 years:

@techo Well I don't see much of 55 years old around me... There're a couple on the director level but just a handful. Where is the rest? I suspect they are working in kitchens, in services, in retails. They work in construction and destroy their bodies and their lives. I don't want that and I'm...

@clarastew Don't know if you are from Europe but no engineer from where I come from can earn enough money between their degree and 30 to be able to travel even 5 months. 3 years it's unspoken of

@clarastew I'm super happy for you and I also want that. I'm just super anxious and afraid that at the age of 50 I will not be able to find any job. I'm afraid that the age discrimination is really strong in the fields I'm working in and if I don't maximize my earning potential now I will regret...

@jamie75 Fire is the acronym for financial independence and retirement early. This means I don't want to work past the age of 45 years old. I don't want to die in an office working

@jamie75 So you believe in the country that it will give some sort of child support and that you will find a good job at 39 years old for 100k+ while raising a kid? And you want to fire 6 years after that?

@jamie75 You know that if you want to have kids and you are 33 already then you need to have them now? And kids are expensive. You think that 1100 is enough to support a family? I'm not criticizing, just asking for your perspective.

@jamie75 And how do you see your future? Where do you see yourself in 20 years? Still with this part time job? And you belive you'll get your pension?

@christian783 A milion time yes. I can't describe how happy I was between jobs when I had my freedom back. I could do everything and anything. Listen to birds while drinking my morning coffee, going for a jog in the forest, reading books in the garden. And here I am dying of boredom...

@shedacares It is definetly an echo chamber as everyone I'm surrounded by are only driven by one thing only. I will pull my hair out if I hear another cryptobro trying to sell his magic next-ftx idea at the bar I go to. And i know that unhealthy what I'm doing but sitting at a desk at 55 is...

@notausername Thank you and I know it that I need to take it more slow. But the thing that gives me anxiety attacks is the uncertain future and working my whole life. As you said life is too short to sit in an office till I die.

A bit of a background but the tldr is: Moved across the pond to the Bahamas to maximize my earning potential and take advantage of the zero income/capital tax. My exwife divorced me last year because I was not hustling enough and she wanted someone to be in a "powercouple" with. She was...
