Hello everyone

Yes, i've already tiped on google "what products are profitables to sell online "

My name is Max (from EU) and I am today in the rat race.
Got raised with the trap mentality MJ de Marco explains so well in Unscripted (book that brought me here) where i needed to do the best studies ( + a 40 k loan) to have an amazing work in a big company with a good insurance.
I'm 26 today and i'm working at my second 9-17 job in a 80% rainy & foggy country spending 11 months of work to get my "holidays" & spend the money i don't have - yeah, you know what i mean

I hope it's not too early to "post" as i did not make any sucessful achievement at my eyes but after reading "Don’t Lurk, Do This Instead" post i thought it would be a good first step to post here.

As said previsouly i am today in the ratlife and realized only some months ago that I don't want this miserable life. It's my fight and im preparing myself for it .

For instance, let me ask you 2 questions :
1. I quickly realized that my environement is really important for my self developement but I have friends (most of them) which i know they will not develop myself in a good way to the fastlane, even worse they will slow it (girlfriend included). I know that there is an easy answer but im curious to have your feedback on this as i've built these relationships for some years now ?
2. How to evaluate the priority between the 6 months bills paying before leaving your Job VS leaving your job & its toxic environement (people & place) with no money for an other country ?

Apologies for my english as i'm not native english speaker

Thank you for this forum which is a blessing at my situation

Cheers
Max
