Just a little kick in the *ss, here:Sid23 said:. . .it feels like I have a choice – either spend my life working on things that don’t interest me to become financially free or do things I like and enjoy and stay in the middle class.
There are LOTS of people in the world who would prefer to do things that they like and interest them.
Some are starving artists, some are homeless, and others live on "the dole".
I know that's not what you're saying.
But think about it: Our ancestors that came here had to do a LOT of crap that they didn't really want to do: Dig outhouse latrines. Wash clothes (by hand) every single day. Take hours to prepare food.
Work each day for 12-18 hours until your hands bleed and your body aches all over.
When you look at that, in comparison, deciding to make a life for yourself using fastlane tools/techniques is positively luxurious.
So easy it's indecent, almost.
So while I've tended to shy away from stuff like this, consider this post a kick in the @ss.
You do have a choice.
To make your life comfortable, and like everyone else's.
Or go on to achieve exceptional things.
One of the other posters here has a quote which is has been my screen saver for a while (see below).
It really does kinda sum things up.
My best wishes to you, whichever road you choose.
