How old are you? I’m 35 and financially independent. Don’t want the office life forever. Hate office politics

Go do outside sales.



Way different types of politics but that’s unavoidable if y ou want to make money.

Financially free, financially independent... do you mean you're independently wealthy or you don't have anyone to take care of? Do you still need to work or not?

I am not "financially free" but some days I make more trading the markets than I do at my salary (I have a good job) in a single paycheck. It's like fishing though, you have to take what God gives you. It's not in the cards to expect to be able to make money every day. Unless you have guaranteed income coming in, you should always keep your job.

What does that actually mean?

Can you retire tomorrow and live until 80 on your savings?

True statement.

During the great market crash of 2025, I was down 2 years worth of my annual salary . The rebound was fast this time, but that is not true for every crash, 2000 - 2010 pretty much sucked.
