Hi, I'm a 42 year old scaffolder from the UK and soon to be 43 in a couple of weeks. I've spent the last 20+ years coasting through life, getting drunk on the weekends/ weekdays. Slowly killing myself through bad choices in the evenings and fuelling someone else's fast lane dream during the day, by working for a company and not myself! I have a wife and 4 young boys, who I don't want to grow up with the same outlook and opportunities that I have used/had in the past.
I gave up alcohol over a year ago and have slowly been getting myself back on track. Firstly moving from the sidewalk to the slow lane. Starting a pension at 41 and putting money into stocks and crypto. This sounded like a great idea at first - compounding interest etc. Then the realisation of 20 years slowly investing into something that I physically wont have the ability to enjoy, as arthritis kicks in after 40 years in a manual job.
I've got a long way to go. - Needing to learn a whole lifetimes worth of useful life altering skills, in a shorter time scale than most. But hopefully with a lot of determination, I can turn the rest of my time around and into a better life lived by my family and myself.
