I can't stand my tech fag job much longer. Just the usual, getting jerked around and I frankly just don't give a fuck about the latest tech anymore.If I make peace with letting down my team lead I can probably coast for at least a year or maybe more, but it just sucks not getting any raise and being demotivated, the risk is I tell myself I'll slack off and then I'll still work late on "just one more thing" because I don't want to disappoint anyone. My interests are stocks and macro. I have $800k and a house. Is there any way to sustain myself on this? It seems like a lot but the 4% safe withdrawal rate just isn't enough here when you consider inflation and economic instability and the need for stable cash flow.
So yeah it just feels like being here is holding me back from better things. Then I look around in the world and everything fucking sucks worse.I don't see any way out besides competently trading.Should I just make getting fired a goal? Or quit while I'm ahead.I kind of figure now that it's all shit skins I don't really care if they think poorly of me or wouldn't be a good reference.
>>62023060>Then I look around in the world and everything fucking sucks worse.Well no fucking shit. Almost as if it was a bad idea to allow immigration/refugees of desperate people who will work in shit conditions for shit pay to compete with your job market.Now we have no standards YAAAAY!And it will only get worse as time goes on YAAAY!YAAY LIBERALS YAAAAY!
>>62023047Dude I retired on $500k if you can’t figure out how to retire on $800k and a house you need to quit posting this shit and show up tomorrow Of course you’re really just looking for permission to leave whether that comes from us or your loved one it doesn’t matter. YOU have to live YOUR life. When I quit I didn’t have any sort of plan I didn’t give a shit. Gf dumped me parents were pissed but I did it anyways. Lived my own life. Family came around like a week later, new gf came into my life a month after that. QUIT LOOKING FOR PERMISSION AND BE A FUCKING MAN. Quit your faggot as job today or don’t post shit like this again
>>62023047>hunble fag thread #6.000.000
>>62023084Yeah and either everything gets worse and it doesn't matter or the pendulum swings back. Either way I'm realizing it doesn't matter if I leave on good terms or not. However I really don't want to bitch out and start going back to the office.>>62023110How do you make it work? What kind of investment split do you have? Do you day trade? Write options?
I drank so much milk and ate beans and farted so badly and it smelled like rotten eggs oh my god they should use my farts to help with the global gas shortage
>>62023047>I have $800k and a house. Is there any way to sustain myself on this?If I had that, I would quit immediately and put everything into my passion. Then I would monetize it through social media or becoming an instructor. Hopefully you have a hobby that you're good at.
>>62023209Tech shit used to be my passion but 10 years of this has destroyed my soul. I would just like to swim in the ocean and walk in the woods and not have to monetize my life.
>>62023217You can do that for a year or two and you'll get bored of it anyway and start looking for new goals.
>>62023047exact same boat as you. paid off house and collecting avout 2500 interest pre month just pure interest inclme. extremely tight but doable
>>62023221Other than that I like trading and following news. My most effective is swinging big obvious moves for days or weeks and small day trades kind of like Ross Cameron style, but I only do it with really small position sizes. And I haven't proven to myself I can do it indefinitely or with size. I also don't know if that's how I want to spend my life either, obsessing about money and candle sticks. >>62023261Yeah one big expense or rate cut away from everything getting fucked. I also need to pay for health insurance or pay a tax penalty in my gay liberal state.
>>62023296yeah my mentality is 1. get myself fired so i can collect unemployment 2. use that for about six months 3. assume in a year or two ill get bored or re-inspired to get money again
>>62023331Based. Good luck.
>>62023047white people literally do not have work ethic. you bitching about being able to work, an indian in your position would realize how much he can do. this country is literally built for them, us whites have no chance
>>62023331parasite
>>62024915I do and did work hard. Except they reorganized and then said to my face that my output doesn't matter 0.5x or 10x don't expect a bonus and don't even expect your role to exist in 2 years. But I still have to balance all the responsibilities and keep 3 different groups happy. If I drop the ball then all of a sudden I'll hear about it. If jeets are so good why can't they do that in India? Surely it's cheaper to mail a pc to India than process a visa application.
>>62023047I was a PM in tech. Stopped going, got laid off. Started a tour business While on unemployment benefits.Less money, for now, on my feet all day. But infinitely more satisfying.Hired 2 people three weeks ago. Expanding tours and training the workers so I can spend more on new offers, marketing and sales, while they are doing the fulfilment.
>>62025583Yeah a ton of places are just so deeply rotten now with jeets hitting senior leadership and fucking everything up.Turns everything from chasing excellence or even just competence into desperately trying to patch a leaky sinking shipRough but hopefully you can coast until you get fired or find a decent place to go to even though it'll kill your own creative+professional drive as a techfag.
>>62024947How is he a parasite if he gets unemployment because he worked long enough to contribute to it with taxes? Are you retarded? You must be German.
I'm in a similar boat. Modern tech is not what it once was or what was promised to us. We were promised the space to build useful/cool things and told the primary point of friction would be the difficulty in building that thing. That is not the case. It's the never ending bureaucracy, the micromanagement, the pull requests. Everything BUT the work.So no, I don't feel bad about switching to coast mode at this point. It's what the system incentivizes. Because if you start to ramp it up you will get stretched brutally thin with all of the constant things that come up with your multiple work tasks due to needless additional bloat and ceremony.
I don’t know. I just took a break 6 months ago. Probably got to go back but I got tired of giving health and headspace to shitbags. God provides
>>62025614Congrats anon you made it. That's also an interesting idea. I have a friend who is a rock climbing guide and while I could never do that it's interesting there's a market for something with lower safety stakes and I'm guessing more entertainment based. I live near a tourist town where they do ghost tours and stuff.I'm realizing I need to think more outside the box (literally outside the black cube telescreen).
>>62023047Should I kill myself
>>62025699Ghost tours are very popular, you can upsel tarot reading and other related astrology stuff as well. And with AI it’s just so easy.The only thing stopping anyone to do anything is mindset. It’s literally that easy.
>>62023296>pay for health insurance or pay a tax penalty in my gay liberal state.You can just submit a waiver. All you have to do is say you were the victim of domestic abuse. There are no questions asked with that exemption. It’s automatic.I’ve never had health insurance in my entire life and never had to pay the fine.
>>62023047i work in accounting. thinking about starting a machine shop or doubling down on the accounting meme and buying my own firm. either way, i'm getting tired of corporate nonsense, even with the benefit of WFH.
>>62025583>>62025617cope and seethe. this is the hindu century
>>62025583you need to work harder. indian in your place would not be bitching the way you are now. how does that improve things? are you a woman?
>>62025619if you choose to become unemployed and collect welfare that is jew behaviour. you are literally turning yourself into a welfare parasite rather than a productive person
>>62023047If you get rib removal surgery, you can suck yourself off even harder. Since you seem to like that.
