Software developer in Germany, 40 years old

[Simon G]

Hello from Germany,

I'm a 40 year old software developer, progressed from a sidelaner (just doing what's absolutely necessary in life) to a slowlaner (saving money, building skills) and aspiring to become a fastlaner. Currently working in a pretty easy job developing software as a consultant for big corporations for good money. I enjoy what I'm doing and I'm good at it. For most people this sounds very good, I guess. However, I lack freedom! After 15+ years working for other people in dull offices, sacrificing so much of my time, which seems to go by always faster, I've decided to change my life.

Have been saving money for a few years and have saved enough money to sustain myself for a couple of years, living somewhat comfortably. Have a bunch of concrete ideas and am currently evaluating which one to go for to start my new life. After getting some specific personal stuff in order (which requires a steady employment) I quit my job in 2-6 months from now.
