I did. I already had around 6,5k in different indexes. I was driving as fast as possible. What I didn't understand is that I was driving in the slow lane... I was betting on 10% per year and investing as much as possible, which is only making me more and more dependant on ny salary. After reading TFL and unscripted I no longer feel comfortable with frugality, saving and buying and holding. I want my money back, because I want to have financial backup for what I am going to do next. Which is taking control of my life. Just thinking about where i was headed makes me shudder. I want to own my time. There is so much I want to do. There are people I want to be with. I want to have dogs and I want to have a family in the future. But I don't feel comfortable having these things if I don't have time for it. My father wasn't around much in my life, because he had a 12h per day job, which wasn't even paid a lot. My mother worked hard all her life for an average pay. They've built a lot with their labour and with bank loans. But they are old and broken. It makes my heart break. We love eachother, but we never really had time to be together, to work on our family, to go travel together. I didn't get to build things with dad.
Ehh... I'm rambling. It's just that these books really got to me. I look back on my life, and I see things in a new light. I came to realisations, to new conclusions.
It's time for me to move forward. It's time for me to make a change. I have skills, and I love to learn. What I need most is time. And my job not only steals my time, but also stifles my energy for learning and creativity.
I want to quit this year, as soon as possible. I just have to take care of some things and establish a plan for what I am doing after my resignation.
Here is to 2021
