In all seriousness though op, trust me when I tell you, you are already ahead of the pack by asking that question.

Many people (the vast majority of the human population living in developed countries), don’t realize how close to disaster they all are.

Some people aren’t blessed with the gift of prudence. Others are but become too lazy to take active steps to avoid their impending fate. And by lazy I don’t necessarily mean bums. I mean those people who have burdened themselves with kids and simply don’t have the time and space to think and ask philosophical questions.

What should you do? Well, How ahead of the pack are you? If you don’t have any kids, you are ahead of the pack. Way ahead.

To escape the grind, effort is needed. And sacrifice. Sacrifice your free time on selling services that are easy or fun for you to provide. The effort you need to see this through will be powered by the intensity of the hatred you harbor for the daily grind. If you hate it as much as it seems, you are good to go.

Someone mentioned a career change.

Meh. That’s shortsighted. A good job can always become a bad one if circumstances change. Hopping from one job to another won’t quiet the storm of discomfort that is raging within your spirit.

If you save 300k , you can easily make a retirement income of 30k per year. There are loads of investment funds and stocks that pay a 10percent dividend. Assuming you have paid off your home, or moved to a cheaper country; thats a damn good life for a retired dude.



There are midgrade govt bonds that pay similar levels at 10percent. Im thinking brazil, mexico, russia, or india



Assuming you have a grown man job, it shouldnt be too dificult for you to save 30k per year over the next decade to reach that 300k nest egg. Worst casee scenario you have a Mediocre job and can only save 15k for the next 2 decades. So you could be done by 40 with a good job or 50 with an okay job.



I'm assuming you are married, @Mirin4rmfar ? That's a good stability play as well.
