    Don't Waste Your Life: Optimizing Life for Fulfillment Instead of Net Worth

    MINDSET 
    As someone who spent my 20s mostly living day by day, with an empty calendar as you say, partying, chasing girls, and enjoyed backpacking through Europe, I can attest that it is very enjoyable but gets meaningless at some point. As people mentionned here, work and being helpful to others is an...

    Finding Focus and Trusting Myself. What's the next step?

    INTRO 
    Hey Kooka, Brisbane resident here. Sounds like you want to jump all the steps at once. I usually write down all I have to do on a piece of paper. It clears my mind, makes it a bit clearer what needs to be done, I don't have to worry about forgetting stuff, and I get the satisfaction of...

    The Path of Great Uncertainty - First Blind Steps Into the Fastlane

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks Kevin. I asked ChatGPT (I love it more and more) + government websites. Indeed I can't register a company in Australia. If I do it in France, while still living in Australia, it's still technically breaching the work visa. But if there's no income to declare back to Australia, something...

    When did you start investing with some big bucks?

    INVESTING 
    Even 5k savings a month is a long way: And that's to reach "just" 1 million (in Australia that's the price of a decent house now). Assuming, and hoping, you will invest $ 5k every month, for 12+ years, and that it will average 5% interest / year. If you lose a big chunk somehow, stock...

    The Path of Great Uncertainty - First Blind Steps Into the Fastlane

    EXECUTION 
    Like many people, I reckon starting a business Vs being an employee (or freelance) is the way to go. Also like many people: "What the f*ck do I do and where do I start!?" I read enough books and articles to know I do not need to read more. It is time for action. But what actions? All I can do...

    INVESTING 
    Started investing since I became an engineer, a bit before my 30s (3-4 years ago). Basic slowlane getting rich strategy of living below my means and saving every month. I got term deposits in New Zealand that are between 5 - 6% / year over 1 to 5 years. In Australia, currently, a savings...

    Think for Yourself. No More Questions.

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Funny. I was thinking about that earlier today. Looking towards complete strangers to think and make decisions for us. Sounds stupid yet it is easy to fall prey to it. One thing that works well for me: Planned overnight hikes; at least once a month. Alone, in the middle of nowhere, sleeping in...

    Quick Introduction

    INTRO 
    Hey RightyTighty, Thanks for your input! My work is to automate processes in plants, distribution centers, food manufactures, pretty much anywhere; and keep them running. It's called control systems engineering. Funny enough, I have no appealing idea as to how automate a business based on...

    How do I afford flight school?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Hi Zayan, It's good you're thinking about your options already. Military is an option for the pilot license. Depends on what you mean by "limited time". Usually the deal is that you need to serve for X amount of years, and you'll owe them money if you quit. They're not giving you a free pilot...

    Hi all, Glad to join the forum! Can't wait to read more of it. I'm doing decently well in the Slowlane by being an engineer who saves and invests a good chunk of his salary. As much as I enjoy being helpful and not just staying at home doing nothing, the job is just a job, and the 9-5, 5 days...
