ACTION FAKE - IGNORE THE THREAD...
What feels like a stone in my stomach:
I don’t like the thought of just having $700-800 in expenses every month so I need to make a decision of importance. Last income: 26th of july.
Background information
I’m 21 years old, from Sweden. Moved 625 miles from my parents at 15. High school in economics with sports orientation, to pursue my dream to be in a world championship, that I’ve now reached. No ambition to continue. Still living in the same town. I have a bike and $22,000.
NOTE:
I’m only asking because I think it would be valuable and smart to let strangers that are further down the path read my situation, give their opinions on it, and give me a wider/new perspective on it. Thank you beforehand!
How did I get here?
October 2022: Read The MF+ RichDadPoorDad.
December: Choose to go all in Ecommerce.
Jan-Apr: Drifting, Procrastination, Internet Addiction, Scattered focus, and a money-chasing mindset.
May: Removed distractions, bad friends, and habits that don’t serve me. I also quit my job.
June: Back to eCommerce, product ideas being validated by my eCom mentor.
Why did I quit my current job?
•I took the job ONLY to pursue my sport and reach my goal, and now that season is over for me.
•My group-leader at work is also the wife of my sports coach, which is uncomfortable. It's also why I got the job to begin with.
•The job-environment KILLS my spirit and drive.
•Want to start a new life, only keeping my entrepreneur friend + my girlfriend.
•Don’t want to climb the 40 year work ladder anymore.
•If I didn’t quit I would’ve probably got stuck..
Different choices I’ve thought of:
The same pros/cons if I moved places. + the headache of moving furniture and leaving my fastlane friend.
However, my parents could kill my drive, make headaches, annoying, interrupt me and ultimately kill my dreams. They may think I’m the same person as when I was 15. The town they live outside of is filled with bad memories and people who live there are DEAD inside. I also feel like I would probably take a step in the wrong direction in life. No person there that I want as a friend.
However I may get comfortable and not have the same sharp drive and urgency as when alone. Cost/mo goes down to $400-550

Different choices I’ve thought of:
- All in on eCommerce
- Take on a new job (part or full-time) aligned with the entrepreneurial vision
The same pros/cons if I moved places. + the headache of moving furniture and leaving my fastlane friend.
- Tell my parents that I don’t have a job, move home, all in eCommerce
However, my parents could kill my drive, make headaches, annoying, interrupt me and ultimately kill my dreams. They may think I’m the same person as when I was 15.

No person there that I want as a friend.
- Have my girlfriend move in
However I may get comfortable and not have the same sharp drive and urgency as when alone. Cost/mo goes down to $400-550
- New + Have my girlfriend move in
- Same as nr 4, except the pros/cons from (nr 2) is applied.
