Hi all,
Firstly I just wanted to express my excitement to join this forum and interact with like-minded people looking to leave the rat race.
Heres a quick summary about my current slowlane life:
At some point while reading the book, something just "clicked". I felt like I instantly came to this self realization that there is something seriously wrong with the way we live our lives. The book became like heroine for me. I couldn't put it down and blasted through and already placed an order on Amazon for Unscripted . I've started consuming this forum, books, articles, and videos like a thirsty camel hungry for knowledge.
I feel empowered and determined. I've become obsessed with this path and I'm thirsty for success. I would like to personally thank @MJ DeMarco (not sure if you read this stuff) for writing such an incredible book and creating this forum. You've truly changed my life and I can't thank you enough for it.
That being said, I'm extremely excited to begin my entrepreneurial journey with all of you. Thank you for being a contributor to this forum and sharing your success, failures, and journeys.
I look forward to learning from and contributing to this community of like minded individuals.

Firstly I just wanted to express my excitement to join this forum and interact with like-minded people looking to leave the rat race.
Heres a quick summary about my current slowlane life:
- 30 years old, living in Canada.
- Switched out of a computer science degree after 2 years, but finished a tech related degree at another medium-rank university.
- Through persistence and hunger for knowledge, got hired at a FANG company as a Software Engineer where I have flourished and on track for more promotions.
- Maxed registered investment accounts (all ETFS globally distributed).
- Strong desire to retire early and pursue Financial Independence with a passive income flow.
- High salary for my age (~200k) but sick and tired of the corporate rat race.
- I'm sick of waking up every day at 6am, commuting 1.5 hours each way to work in order to fatten the pocketbook of my company's CEO.
- I'm sick of trading 5 weekdays for 2 weekends where I can finally "relax" and "live life".
- I'm sick of the corporate bullshit of my job that gets filled with politics and ownership instead of actual problem solving.
- I'm sick of relying on ETFs to build my wealth.
- I'm sick of being a cog in another person's machine.
