TIME IS FADING FAST

[AwakenedParticipant 35203]

I was watching some TV shows from the mid 80’s, and I started looking at some of the actor’s bios. Well, this one was dead 10 years ago at the age of 56, and that one was dead 16 years ago at age 62 etc.

The point is that it doesn’t matter how rich and famous you are or you’re not. Those years tick by so damn fast. I see these people at work that are in their 60’s, and they have enough resources to retire, but some just can’t get enough. Do they think they’re going to live forever?

I have also had a friend get out early to relocate/partially retire to Florida and take a low stress job. He doesn’t miss this place or the job.

Another friend of mine partially retired on the early side as well after the S~~~ got so deep that he found himself choking on it. NO Regrets

Personally, do what ya want, but I just don’t see the point.

I’m TIRED of putting up with and answering to morons in the workplace. I’m TIRED of the idea that I must work to a certain age to maximize my pension which will more than likely just MINIMIZE MY LIFE. I’m not interested in living in the best nursing home in town….

I’m trying to hang in/on to the stupid moronic career/job that I have just long enough to get my kids on their feet, divorce myself from the parasitic attachment, and build “just enough” in a pension fund to get the hell out of Dodge. Find a small lil house/trailer somewhere QUIET, and finally just be able to WALK AWAY from the MATRIX OF WORK and LIVE FOR ME.

I agree very much with this. Time is our most precious resource.

I’m late 30s; I feel the clock ticking away as well. While I deal with death daily, and get a constant reminder, I think to myself that people need to wake up. They will hoard money but will part with their time without as much as a whimper of protest.

I’m aiming to pull the pin at 50-55; if all goes well. I’m a minimalist with zero debt and a paid home. Yet, I live my live as much as possible in between. I will take mini vacations and now that I’m settle in my new place I’m looking for new hobbies. I’ve always been a self dedicated life long learner. I forgot that for about a decade once I was finally finished school. Then I played house for a few years and now I’m focusing on me.

I’ve recently tried to convert my life to stoicism- things that I once worried about don’t seem as important. Retirement is a hypothetical. I’m not advocating spending everything you make on a hedonistic lifestyle without preparing for tomorrow. But putting life off until your retired is like saving sex until your old.

A real eye opener a few years back. Co-worker retired,…..actually more forced out then retired,…..beside the point but 3 years, only 3 after hitting the door for the last time dead.
Wish I would have started to work on getting a cash flow outside my job long ago. Getting to where I need to be, in the process going minimal. Selling off all the stuff I use to think I needed.

That song Enjoy Yourself – it’s later than you think springs to mind.
But you are totally correct Awakend. We think we have longer than we do so we should get out of the system ASAP.
I am already planning my retirement strategy.
I have worked out that I need another 12 years until I hit 60. My young children will be old enlightened to earn for themselves. I can’t touch my pension until 65 but I am going to down size and work minimally.
Even 60 feels late. My dad passed at 64. He hurried along his death however once he established he was ill. Had he not done that he would have made 65.
65?!?!? That feeling just round the corner. FFS.

Something that I never gave enough consideration to was our decline in physical ability. I mean we all know that we slow down and get weaker with age but it doesn’t really hit home until it happens.

We should be careful not to put things off too long. We will eventually hit a point where we won’t be physically able to do the things we were wanting to do in later life…

That is what scares me the most Autolite.

I wish I was like Methos from that series Highlander. The dude was nearly 6,000 years old. For perspective, Duncan McCleod was only like 400, if that.

He had learned and forgotten languages.

He’d loved so many women, watching them all grow old and die. Sort of like a Red Pill being immortal.

No wife, no kids, no big house, no fancy cars, no divorces under my belt…I’m hoping to be out of the rat race at 40. I know so many guys who buy a big truck, a nice house, spend a bunch of money keeping pumpkin happy and marrying into debt, then 10 years down the road end up getting ass raped in divorce court that when I think about how much I’ll save avoiding all that s~~~ its just like yeah…retiring super early isn’t unreasonable.

Its just crazy to me thinking I could have spent my 20s and part of my 30s mostly single, working hard, investing, and getting all set up in life financially, make the mistake of getting married, then maybe at 45 get divorce raped and being in a position where pumpkin walks away with a windfall and I get f~~~ed just for having been well set up before I even got married.

I don’t see any downsides to living modestly and retiring early, especially considering alternative lifestyles in a lot of ways just boil down to trying to impress people I don’t like anyhow or trying to keep some c~~~ happy.

Im 33 and I think Im consciously going down the exact route BEER is going. Dodged some bullets in my 20s; woke up at 27, no kids, no woman, no divorces, no LTRs to speak of– very fortunate really as two flings I had supposedly resulted in abortions.

May as well live modestly and perhaps retire at 50-55. Getting married would mean I never retire, work till death.

Judging from hundreds of personal experiences with women, they’re a lost cause.

Judging from thousands of men’s accounts I’ve read and heard, women are absolute gurantee of a miserable existence.

Women give you sex, companionship, children. That’s it.

Sex is a flight away to Amsterdam ($1500/week (flight& hotel) ) plus say 100euro a throw.

Women suck at companionship. Live with some male roommates or get a dog.

Children are not your own, the world is overpopulated, and society will influence them too much.

Life hacked. Retire early. Live small. Be at peace.

Pretty close to my story…two miserable LTRs in my 20s, the second of which ended with an “I forgot to take the pill” talk, which thankfully didn’t result in a pregnancy, but it was a “What the f~~~ am I doing with my life” moment. I didn’t realize it at the time but that bitter taste in my mouth was a red pill.

Funny thing is I bought a condo in my early 20s thinking when I got married(lol) and bought a house later in life, I could either rent it out for a little side income or sell it and put the proceeds towards paying the house off early. Pretty much I was setting myself up to be the perfect beta bucks and buy a house for me and some little princess to live in. I know plenty of them that would love to take that deal now, but after they rode the carousel through their teens and 20s and already hit the wall, I don’t want them anymore.

Fast forward 10 years…I realized what a f~~~ing terrible plan that is as divorce would just mean I “owe” her half the equity in the house even if the down payment and a large one time payment towards principal upon selling my condo were entirely money I had before getting married. Needless to say around the time I turned 30, which ironically is an age where most women have hit the wall or are showing early signs of the wall being imminent, marriage was off the table for me and the money I planned on spending on a house got thrown in with my retirement funds instead and I realized how cheap and stress free the condo life was. That was when I took a look at how much money I had, how much I was making at my job, and my expenses, and thought god damn I can retire early as hell if I want.

Getting married at this point is a lot like I spent the last 15 years building a million piece puzzle, then some post wall carousel rider comes along,puts the last piece in place, and exclaims “Look what we did!” Sorry c~~~…there is no “we” here. A true partner would have been there helping build an empire with me, not just come along when most of the work is already done and think they deserve half because they spread their legs for me, like they’ve already done for many guys before me for a hell of a lot less.

You and me both. Here’s to the day I leave it behind forever.

God bless peace and freedom.

Pretty much. I plan on spending some time in Asia or South America when I pull the plug on work. You can f~~~ a prostitute for less than the price of a dinner date to a chain restaurant here in the states. How over priced is American pussy when it can cost you half of your life savings where as a lot of countries you can get it for like 10 bucks a pop if you want. The interest on half my savings right now could perpetually buy me a prostitute daily without ever touching the principal.

Hot little 110lb Asian or Latina chick…10 bucks per lay. Wife that gets fat and nasty and divorces you…could easily end up in the hundreds or even 1000+ per lay. I know a bad deal when I see one lol.

[Gravel PitParticipant]

If I had the ability to retire that early, at 45-50 … I would be a very blessed and happy man LOL

It makes me wonder. The whole crypto thing, specifically cold storage. Imagine say, “secretly” retiring at 45 years old, with say, 1.5 million.

Now assume you take like half your net worth, or even 95% of it, and purchase BTC or Alt Coins over-the-counter (or on an exchange, no matter) and snuggle them away in cold storage or offline. You hide the paper or Trezor wallet in a rain tarp, buried 10 feet in the ground or in a safety deposit box or whatever…

Say you did that at 40 years old… bury a million dollars worth of crypto in cold-storage and walk away…

Now you appear to be a regular Joe living paycheck to paycheck…. The epitome of Hide Your Wealth.

Now you’re free to start a relationship with “make-me-a-Mother” 33 year old Vickie. You can conceivably carry on a whole life with her for 20+ years, raise a family etc and she never needs to know anything about what you’re really worth….

Your risk level decreases A LITTLE BIT.

But if Vickie’s hypergamy kicks in when the kids are teenagers and you catch her banging the mailman and she divorces you for the house that is only half paid for… Whatever bitch, take it… meanwhile you just dig up your rain tarp, make a couple crypto deposits and BANG, you own a nice new house, a new truck and the GASH got nothing!

That kind of strategy and saftey net is ONLY available to wildly sucessful YOUNG men… I am not in that class and prolly never will be LOL.

I wish I was wealthy and making six-figures. Because you know what, the normal 33 year old guy is an idiot who is setting himself up to be ROBBED by a Gash. Not me. If it was me, all of the money would be hidden away. She would never know I could just leave the c u n t and never have to worry… imagine that kind of mental security!

the only problem with this plan is that most of yall think Crypto is BUNK… lol. Yall buy silver and bullets…

My 2 cents of wisdom: Decide before it’s decided for you.
The divorce was decided for me.
Losing my kids was decided for me.
Losing my money was decided for me.
In January, I was told I have lung cancer…at 55…never smoker.
After 4 rounds of chemo…listen to me on this…
Buy the damn bike (car, plane, boat, stereo, gun, etc.).
Take the damn trip.
Do the damn thing…for you.

Being immortal would be a curse . Life would get boring after a few hundred years .

Good taste in TV, Awakened.
There’s been nothing worth watching since 1989.
When I’m with my Friday evening buddies, we watch classic TV, from a time when it was about interesting stories rather than having a political agenda.

The reaper can come for any of us, at any time.
I’m starting to get chronic pain, maybe arthritis or something, we’ll see.
Anyway, it is lowering my quality of life.

Every day, you’ve got to find the right balance between responsibility and enjoying yourself.
Live within your means, be resourceful.
Try to do more with less, which is satisfying in itself.

And avoid any unnecessary debt, especially for the sake of a relationship.
I think that’s the main culprit that kills us; it chains us down for far too long, and unfortunately for some of us even after we’re gone.
