Can anyone that's made it confirm if life is boring if you don't work? My goal is to retire early and spend my time on hobbies and just keeping up with the markets for fun. I wouldn't want to think of managing customers or having any form of a boss ever again.

these suck. I'd dread doing these too. You still have to be stressed whether your employees are actually getting things done and whether you will be profitable or if you're just burning through your savings for nothing.

As a neet who worked in the past, nope, work is boring and I'm never working again. I like to read books, practice my Japanese, play with my crypto, take walks and watch movies. Every now and then, I meet some friends and we have some beers. This life is way better than when I used to work
>>
>>60885440
It's not boring if you're a person with hobbies. But the social pressure to "do" something is what made me go back to "work." I basically just go to my company and spend the day listening to my managers and nodding my head. If I were single, I'd stay at home 24/7.

nepo baby here
i did get degree and got a job from parents to keep up with the jones (parents wanted me to look good so they could brag), got bored working after a few years went traveling. 3 months in was accurate time it took to get bored of it. The meals are a bit different by country and some museums had cool shit like stolen egyptian artifacts in spain but it does become all the same.

The one thing i really enjoyed was just walking all day. Backpacking put me in peak health condition but you need to be careful to not get sunburned and if you look at real adventurer types they all have leather skin.
I think i avoided the worst by not going to some arab country but i did catch some benign melanoma on one leg being 8h daily in southern sun.

Another downside was i caught some skin condition in some hotel and needed doc to fix it. Thats not something you get warned about enough imo.

With all that said i did return to working cause i got bored of traveling but im not cleaning toilets or doing any other shitty job. There is no comparison between comfy job you enjoy and real work.

What do you think Im doing the entire time im not at work? Its not any better, Im in hell dude

You underestimate how much a job can provide a sense of belonging to a social function.

>>60885440
I want to retire so I can spend all of my time preparing my children for their future with everything I know.

I know that I am not in a position to feasibly create truly generation altering wealth, so if I have more time to instill my knowledge into my children they will be better prepared for that and to avoid the mistakes I have made. That is more valuable than expanding a small business. These people are not in the position to go from 10 million to a billion.

the way internet censorship is going its probably best to document and preserve current history in book form right now because the future net will be so censored kids wont be able to find real information anymore which means the only path left will be relying on physical books for information. We might go fahrenheit 451 and see book burning next of course but gotta try at least
>>
>>60885649
I have been meticulously building a physical library for the past 10 years. I have probably everything one would need to be prepared. At least the basics, although I should probably get some stuff on advanced math/science.

I have actively seen certain books available before from Amazon, B&N, etc. no longer easily accessible.

I was a neet for 4 years after college, the only reason I stopped is because I ran out of money. As soon as I save enough to quit working permanently, I will. People who can't enjoy life without work are just boring, I lived off of $4k a year and never had a day that I wasn't fully immersed in something, whether it's studying philosophy, theosophy, advanced mathematics, gaming, farming, fishing, bouldering, learning violin and guitar... The things you can do are endless when you don't have to spend 8-9 hours making someone else rich.

I would still work, people who don’t work have zero no ambition and have literally no fucking willpower, if something gets hard they instantly just quit and blame their environment lol.

Went from 70k to (currently) 17m in 8 years in crypto. Retired 4 years ago (almost to the day). It definitely gets soul crushing unless you are a really alpha go-getter type. The type of person who wants to retire early to get away from the soul-crushing monotony of work is the same type of person who's going to find thenselves confronted with the soul-crushing monotony of having nothing to do all day. And the type of person who finds a way to make work engaging and rewarding and enjoys being at work is also the kind of person who will make the most of retirement, because they are geared towards staying active and making the best of their situation. So ironically, the people who seek out early retirement are typically the ones least mentally suited to handle it well, and vice versa.

I hated my job, won the crypto lottery, retired. Got aimless, got bored. Eventually my solution was kind of to get a new job, I got a very demanding breed of dog who requires 4+ hours a day of active engagement. And guess what, I kind of hate it too, and think about returning the dog. He's just a new boss I hate taking orders from. It's my nature to hate doing things and to want to get away from obligations at any cost, and then to be bored out of my gourd as soon as I finally manage to disentangle myself from them. Anyways, so, my point is, early retirement can be awesome, but if you're the kind of person to fantasize about it and actually seek it out, you're probably paradoxically not the kind of person for whom it's going to be awesome.

I bagheld link from 2017 $0.50 until 2020 $20, diversified into eth and btc for another 5x in 2021, then crabbed in low seven figure hell for 3 years chasing every retarded thing until I finally got a string of giga wins last fall with fwog, goat, luce, ai16z, fartcoin, trump, and some other garbage. Still a lot in memes but diversified a lot back to btc eth PMs and equities so my retirement status should stay pretty secure even in a worst case scenario. I'm end of evangelion anon which is a post/thread that gets brought up in link discussions sometimes. "The one that got away" and all that.
>>
>>60885747
Some people like me aren't made for the corpo grind. I always thought I would be because I'm a top performer as an IC but I've come to realize that promotions are about politics, kissing ass and sucking dicks, NOT being productive. Unless you like that stuff (many "ambitious" people can't stop sucking cock) then it's more worth your while to get out and do something else.
>>
>>60885895
Congratulations on those. I save half my income in VOO and BTC and hope to retire in thirty years.

>>60885930
You can be really dumb and you’ll get promoted if you’re generally liked. But if you’ve grown up not caring what people think of you, that’s valuable until you enter the corporate environment. Then you get shafted.
>>
I mean I think at the end of the day you need to be vested in doing something. I'd like to do recreational farming, learn languages, raise kids, and travel. Obviously I will never have the money needed to do this. So I work.

I think the goal of retiring is so you can make your next job what you want to do and use the results to better yourself and family rather than some kike organization.
>>
When you figure out the true value of a dollar and the value of mental health you realize why it’s so important to work. My agency stopped contacting me (lol) so I’ve had a ton of time to focus on my business. It gets a bit boring if I’m honest. I volunteered down at the local food bank. I’m thinking of picking up some part time work too. If you’re with a woman and you’re home all the time you’re going to get a little tired of each other I promise you that.
>>
>>60885835
Sounds like you need some hobbies, or projects, or creative pursuit, or something you're interested in that doesn't require a constant daily schedule and time commitment.
I'm as you describe, I want to get away from work as soon as possible, but I have things I want to retire to, I want to do indie gamedev on my own projects and explore ideas and learn more without worrying about them being profitable.
That doesn't mean I'll spend every day doing it, like you it's in my nature to hate doing things and having obligations, but it's something that interests me so I want to do more with it, and it's always at my own pace so there's no obligation that I need to do something on X day or at Y time.
For me the problem is I feel like I never have enough time. Either I'm mentally fried after work, or I'll get in the zone and be making good progress then there's always something that interrupts me and I'll have to stop. Usually it's because it's 2am and I have to get enough sleep for work in the morning.

imo if you're aimless, then just aim at something. Everyone can always do more at something, like fitness, can focus on improving your health and lifting more, or cooking, trying new recipes and learning in depth all the different kinds and ways of making food. Personally I don't own any pet because just like you it'd feel like a job to constantly take care of them, taking them for walks, cleaning up after them, feeding them, unable to travel without having someone look after them or something. Better to avoid those levels of responsibilities.
>>
>>60885958
>But if you’ve grown up not caring what people think of you
This is essentially me. I'm unapologetically nonconformist so although I'm generally liked (I've never had any problems working with anyone except a couple isolated cases) I get penalized by bullshit "culture fit" critiques. Ultimately normies will promote other normies (who are not threats and will kiss their ass), that's just the reality of the situation. Once I hit my makeit number I'm out of here and if I want to work still I'll take contract work at jacked up rates or start my own company, or both. Either option gives way more freedom than being and corpo drone who will be forgotten about anyway having wasted their life in the rat race.
>>
>>60885930
The dick sucking doesn’t go away if you start your own thing though, there’s always some asshole who wants you to kiss their ring no matter if it’s a customer, regulator, or service provider. I’m saying this as someone who is a better individual contributor too, I have a problem where when I run up against issues with team members it makes me want to quit working all together. You can certainly find happiness retired being an individual contributor but in my opinion you will not produce anything truly valuable. Working with people is a valuable skill you need to grow to be successful, if it’s not something your willing to work at you will not reach where you want to.

>>60885440
The difference is once I make it then I can build the things that I want to instead of building for others. I will work much harder after I make it. Because it will be for me and mine.

anyone that succeeds from investments, an endeavor which is infinitely scalable, will never go back down a step on the ladder to be a snakeoil salesman ever as it will not move the needle
there you have it

also one should really ask question how a richonaire that was in crypto since the very early 2010s still bothers running ecomm dropscams and wastes half his days on twatter has any position to give life advice to other
>>
>>60886016
Fair enough. I have no problems working with people per se, my problem is with the ooga booga status games, conformist tendencies, and more broadly being forced to do work I'm not interested in. As far as what is considered valuable, we probably have different perspectives. As an IC I certainly see my work as valuable: I'm the one who builds and develops products and solutions which the company leverages. I do the actual work, without which middle manager leeches wouldn't have anything to shill to their bosses, etc. Basically what I'm saying is that I see the whole thing as a farce, starting with middle management and up, and thus not really worth my time because I don't care about being performative in that way.

Its only boring if you don't have hobbies or can't afford your hobbies without working, thats really the gist of it. Most people really don't have hobbies outside of watching their sportsball of choice, their favorite tv show they watch every sunday, and drinking beer socially while they bitch about their life to their friends who are also in the same boat. Its not even that they are boring people, its that they don't have time to form real interests outside of these due to constantly slaving away at work and having no time/energy once work is over.

Detroit style, absolutely indistinguishable from Emmy Squared.
This was 2 out of 3 meals today for me (excl. the salad and ayran).
There's ways to make it work.
Use 00 flour and replace 1/4 of it with vital wheat gluten.
Skip the olive oil in the dough and no olive oil on the top either.
60% of your cheese can be fat free and you won't feel a difference if the other 40% are not very aged (melting nicely).

I'm a high level IC so it's not like I haven't been promoted before. My point is that at a certain level it's about politics and asskissing exclusively as there are only so many spots higher up in the pyramid. I'm not going to kiss ass and suck cock which makes me a "threat" (these retards who only make work and don't do work are very paranoid) so I don't get promoted. Simple as. Luckily I can always leave and get promoted at the next place but desu I don't thinknI even want that. I just want freedom.
>>
>>60886244
There's no grift though?
We all eat cheat meals every once in a while.
Why not eat a cheat meal that fits your macros?
I maintain a steady -500kcal/day during my cuts on foods like these. I eat way more "paleo" on my bulks but the vast majority of people are fat and eating this stuff would legitimately make them healthier, and even the fit ones would much rather eat high protein low calorie junk than low protein high calorie junk, no?
You go for the "healthy" foods after you've hit 15% body fat. If you're above that, what's healthy for you is usually lower calories, and that's what I can provide.
>>
>>60886243
You're right but that is emblematic of why corporations are really farces, money making machines at best. There's no glory in any of it if it's not even about making cool stuff. So being on top of the ooga booga pyramid doesn't matter.

I have often wondered if this would happen to me if I was ever in the same position. I have my hobbies and friends outside of work but I find it hard to imagine what I would spend my time doing all day for the next 40 years.

I could see myself getting withdrawn and increasingly eccentric, I get tired dealing with people but at the same time I need it or else I'll feel like shit. The forced socialization aspect of work is a good thing for me. In theory you can replace it with volunteering, gym classes, other community based hobbies but you need a particular personality for that as you point out. I don't think I have that drive, my grandmother on the other hand lived a very active life for 30 years after retirement into her 90s still keeping herself busy with volunteering, church, gardening etc. The health impact of loneliness is pretty well studied, that would be a concern for me too.

Not that I need to worry about any of this shit, unless LINK somehow does another 100x
>>
>>60886289
i see them as victims too.
The current economic system demands to increase yields yearly to survive because stable income equals a loss in face of inflation. And because permanent increase is not sustainable only cheaters remain in the market. The system is sick at its core.

There are some companies who survived just selling their one core product for more than a century by mere price adjustment but they are a tiny minority. Most companies get dragged in the mud by competition taking loans to kill them and as they sell out to survive become subject to the very rules that will kill them slowly.

Mixed bag. You can get good deals while companies fight to gain marketshare but once a winner is established they rape consumers thoroughly. Amazon & Apple are examples of that.

I quit waging earlier in the spring after hitting 7 figures, I get what these Anons are saying. If I had 8 figures it might have taken a little longer to get bored but even myself who has a hardcore meditative/occult practice got slightly bored even when doing meditation retreats that made ayuascha ceremonies look meh.

You can't meditate 10 hours+ a day for super prolonged periods anyway without getting burnt out and actual enlightenment is usually a 15 year+ journey. You can only read so many occult/spiritual texts each week so even if you aim for one of the highest goals an incarnated soul can attain you still have to pace yourself.

To be fair if I had 8 figures I would never be bored, but I hate waging so god damn much I checked out early, did what I wanted for the past 4-5 months and now I do simple clerical stuff part time with an attitude of "if any of these wagies even look at me wrong I can tell them to go fuck themselves and be on my way" and it makes the part time stuff I do 90% more tolerable.

A life without work doesn't have to be empty and soulless. These faggot normies that say shit like this have no imagination or free will. When you retire you can pick up 1000 different hobbies. And since you have money you can actually spend a bit on them, like setting up a woodworking table in your garage/extra room.

This is very challenging for me too, I can definitely feel my sanity slipping when I self isolate for a while as I get sucked into my own little solipsistic universe. But interacting with people sucks, is hugely draining and doesn't seem to convey any immediate/primary benefit to me. Eg food is good for me but I also like eating it just because it tastes good. Socialization is good for me too but there's no 'tastes good' to it that makes me instinctively seek it out the way other people do. So I find myself forcing myself to do it because I know it's good for me but that's a really hard thing to keep on doing when the primary experience of it isn't rewarding but rather burdensome, tedious, and annoying.

If you don't have to work and are bored please trade places with me. I'd rather be bored with the free time and security than be managed to do things I don't care for. Yes it'd be different if it were your own business or endeavor to work on.

Exactly these. The social pressure is constant. There's plenty of endless work being done already. Fuck all whatever it is I'd do if I had the free time.

If you truly can't just enjoy life without working then you are a vapid, useless case anyway. "Work" is just a word. All there is is how we fill our time. If you can only get enjoyment out of life doing one thing then you're a simpleton, and deserve to be a self-cucked wagie which is all someone "building" and "selling" their "company" is anyway.

Life is boring without a purpose. How you find that purpose is up to you, but most people will call it "work".

I'm 34, and started FIRE last year. It's probably been the most fun year of my life, although who's to say how I'll feel 10 years from now. Although I suspect most white-collar work will be gone 10 years from now anyways.

>but most people will call it "work".
if you have to redefine words beyond the common understanding of most people you are being deliberately retarded
then call it that, occupying yourself with a passion project but dont call it work
would you describe lets say being an active parent and actually raising your kids 'work'
is learning a new language to really tour a new place 'work'
Is learning a new sport as a hobby 'work'
yeah didnt think so
>>
i made enough to not work and its not boring at all, i spend my days customizing, building and riding off road bikes in the woods or on winding roads. In the winter i play/mod vidya and bang whores (prostitution is legal where i live). Sometimes i visit family members who live far away, i also play guitar a lot. I work out every week day.
Sometimes i dont wanna do nothing so i just lay on a fucking recliner chair and do nothing, and you know what? its still way better than working

>would you describe lets say being an active parent and actually raising your kids 'work'
You clearly don't have, or know anyone with, young children, because you'd know it absolutely is "work". Completely worth it, but still "work".
>is learning a new language to really tour a new place 'work'
>Is learning a new sport as a hobby 'work'
Yes. Both of those require "putting in the work", no? Just because you don't have a boss doesn't make it not "work". I think the word you're looking for is "job".

I HATE THESE PEOPLE WHO TREAT WORK LIKE REAL LIFE. UNLESS YOU OWN THE BUSINESS WHO GIVES A FUCK ABOUT "THE BUSINESS". FUCK YOU YOU ARE JUST A MEANS FOR ME TO GENERATE TAX REVENUE (FORCED SLAVERY AT GUNPOINT THEFT) FOR MY TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT WHICH THEN SPENDS THE MONEY THEY STEAL FROM ME AT GUNPOINT TO DIRECTLY WIPE OUT MY PEOPLE AND PROSECUTE ANYONE WHO SPEAKS OUT AND TO PUT FUCKING IMMIGRANTS INTO 5 STAR HOTELS GIVE THEM IPHONES AND £100PW TO SPEND ON A CARD THEN BAILS THEM OUT WHEN THEY RAPE LITTLE GIRLS. I FUCKING HATE WORK

I'm a brown dude who has fucked countless white women in the UK. They love brown dick and I always cum deep inside their pussies. Your women are sluts, face it bro. You're a conquered people. And if you ever confront me in real life, I would knock your ass out no problem.

Guess what? You're in a cage, and you're not getting out any time soon. You can make nice with the others trapped in the cage, and claw for some tiny shred of happiness, or you can be miserable all by yourself. Up to you.

>as per cambridge dictionary
like i stated if you use a word that most commonly refers to something else just to stir up this exact level of controversy you are retarded or engagement farming since this was posted on twatter
what you are describing is effort, work definitely implies more than merely effort
as can be seen from most responses itt as to how most people would interpret the twat from op

I'm not even rich rich I just haven't worked for 4 years due to health issues and yet I still find the days FLY. There's not enough time in the day to do everything I want to do. if I had my health and tons of money there would be even more things I could do.
if you have free time and are unable to fill it in then you are really a slave. Books, games, listening or playing music, fucking around on 4chan, working out, hanging with mates, going for a swim at the beach, learning new skills, cooking and keeping the house tidy, fucking some women... Man the day goes so easily.

Twitter fags are also mentally ill. Grind culture is mentally ill and of course most are losers who aren't actually doing anything.

Most people are subhuman Aristotelian slaves. They cannot function when forced to self-direct. As Baudrillard explained: "There are only three proper beings: the priest, the warrior, the poet. To know, to kill and to create. All other men are malleable and subjugable, born for the stables—that is to say, to exercise what are called “professions.”"

Honestly I think if I made it I'd lowkey work a stupid construction job or something. I was blue collar until a few months ago and I miss it. It's mindless, had a few good lads I worked with, no HR holes to deal with, did physical shit all day. It was fun in a weird way. That being said I had a unique situation where the boss didn't really give a shit when I showed up 15-30 mins late most days and wasn't on my ass about working faster unless it was something that was really important for some reason. If I could find a gig like that I'd do it and just go home to a nice ass house every day, and take time off whenever the fuck I felt like it. If someone tried to tighten the wagie collar a little more I'd fuck off. Maybe a barista job where you can fuck zoomer student art hoes would be fun? Idk.

Yeah. This is very different from waging as a cog in a machine.
What this guy's describing is exactly what I would do if I "retired early". It would just be building new thing after new thing. But I wouldn't be trying to compare that to working a 9-5.

It's not that it's boring if you don't work, it's boring if you don't have a goal. I retired and I'm learning how to draw and I'm having a blast

I saw this loser post this same kind of tweet a month ago too, is this just what he does?

If I had a million bucks right now I'd just go to anime cons and learn to draw to fuck some art ho I met on twitter and want to impress.

I would say that most men will not be happy unless they are somewhat productive. That doesn't necessarily mean "getting a job". It could mean many other things. But just being a layabout feels empty for most people.

how long did it take you to settle in? trading made my entry somewhat stressful for the first six months or so but by month nine i was absolutely coasting. early morning walks everyday, preparing wonderful meals, long nights; it was pretty great. i even saw significant processing increases from a combination of abundant sleep and supplementation. all yt vids (stem topics) were absorbed at 2X and 2.5X was possible with small gaps.
