Are you on track to retire by 30?
>>61247614Fuck no. I am on track to retire by 50 though, which is good enough for me (I’m 24). At that point the children I plan to have will be adult age and BTC should be at least $3-5m and between that and my 10% 401K match I should be in a good place to stop work and focus on writing my sci fi books in a cabin in the woods somewhere
>>61247614I'm not even on track to retire by 40t. 33 y/o boomer
leaving the city single in your 30's KEK
I don't plan on seeing 40
No, but I've got plans to semi-retire by 50, maybe 55. I think I'd get bored if I had no work to do.
>>61247626how are you only 24 but you've given up trying to make a business or hit it big in something you're talented at? Could write those scifi books right now and build a youtube channel to market it or something.>>61247629>>61247635>>61247643what went so wrong through your 20s and 30s so far? at least help the younger guys know what to not do
>>61247650Drugs and alcohol.
No, but hopefully by 45. I'm in a pretty niche tech field so my plan is to slowly let off the gas until I'm just working contracts a few hours a week and raising my kids.
>>61247614>duuude I live in the woods and do artNo you don't. Art is performative, doing it alone is boring. The whole scenario is just cope
>>61247650>could write those sci fi books right nowI am actively writing, but it’s a much slower process and I am also targeting a relatively small niche of more philosophical sci fi alongside something like Hyperion or Book of the New Sun, which especially these days even if you can get published is hardly much of a windfall (I could maybe get $15-20,000 from a particularly successful publishing gig and then a small amount of income after). I am still trying though, just attempting to be realistic.As for starting a business my brain just doesn’t work that way I guess. I’ve tried to sit down and conceptualize something many times but I can never find a good core idea that I’m confident in and even if I could I wouldn’t know jack fuck about actually executing it in a manner that would be successful. The amount of risk plus the time investment that would be required just doesn’t mesh well with me (I’m raising kids and trying to write and do other hobbies and my current salaried job does provide me a lot of free time to do these things). My father started his own niche business and makes shit loads of money, so inheritance should help me with that retirement age as well (though I’d rather he live as long as he can he is a hardcore alcoholic). But he never taught me or got me involved in the business and basically said that if I had tried to do what he did back then in the modern era I’d make a fraction of what he was back in the early 2000s.
>>61247650i DIDN'T start making exceptional money until age 30now I make close to 300k but I was bottom feeding my entire 20s
>>61247901doctor?
>>61247922yesand its shit
suicide is my retirement plan
>>61247614>t. 31Technically I can already retire with at my current net worth given a 7%/year with nothing too crazy happening. Work has started to become fun though. Plan is to work until 40.
>>61247614I got my first real job at 32 so no, lol.I might be able to retire at 50.>>61247643You don't have to retire like present day boomers who just rot infront of the TV. You can do so much stuff with all that free time. You can learn and research stuff, travel in an RV, buy a plot of land and farm.
>>61249787>Work has started to become fun thoughSpill the beans. I need a career that I can find enjoyment from.
>>61247614I'm 30 and unemployed, does that count?
no one is going to get to retire. you guys are funny.
>>61247614Yes, but I need the markets to crash next year to seal the deal.t. 27, 350k
>>61247633Sneed.
>>61247650>what went so wrong through your 20s and 30s so far?nothing. you dont actually have any control of what happens in your life. every rich person inherited wealth or connections. at best you can work until you die so maybe your kids will be slightly better off
