Hi all,
Glad to join the forum! Can't wait to read more of it.
I'm doing decently well in the Slowlane by being an engineer who saves and invests a good chunk of his salary. As much as I enjoy being helpful and not just staying at home doing nothing, the job is just a job, and the 9-5, 5 days a week feels like a prison to me.
For many years after my studies I've resisted "having a job like everybody else" and preferred partying, meeting people, traveling, enjoying my youth and energy, overall deciding what I do with my time. Maybe it's an age thing (32 now, started a "real job" about 3-4 years ago), but after a while, it felt very empty living that way. The need to do something other than for myself appeared. Hence the engineering job. The money was also a motivator.
Entrepreneurship has been in my mind since at least college, but I guess it wasn't enough of a necessity until now.
Now I'm at a crossroad where I'm re-evaluating what I want in life and I clearly recognize that I'm not on the right path. Feeling kind of whipped into submission into the Slowlane. F*ck that.
Not having to worry about money, helping others in a way that I can enjoy is part of the goal. Just not sure what I'll do and how. Hence joining the forum. I'll contribute how I can and am sure many of your posts will be helpful !
I've read a few posts about more philosophical questions such as "I've got all the money I'll ever need, now what?". That will interest me a lot too.
To the pleasure of discussing with you all !
