Is anyone else just tired? Not in a physical sense but a mental one. Tired of everything. I want to go on a big adventure and do something fun. Not the everyday drudgery of a 9-5 office job. Sometimes I realise I hate a lot of people. I don't hate people in general though. I've met and spoken to a lot of people in my lifetime. I'm just tired I think. You can little life as an adult in modern times down to:
>Work to afford food on the table and your mortgage
>Retire when yoiu're old and decrepit

>and your mortgage
You see anon, I didn't move out. Instead of my money going to some bank with ridiculous interest, my money is going into savings and investments that will allow me to quit the rat race far sooner than the average normie.
Not having to pay rent, mortgage and never planning on having a family can literally save you hundreds of thousands of dollars/euros. But yea, you need luck. The luck to be born to nice parents and in a city with job opportunities. I was fortunate enough to at least get those things.

I wasn't smart enough to do stocks and investing. I have to do the same shit everyone else does. Mortgage and hope your house price improves so you can sell it at a profit later. Become rich through investing isn't really a normal thing for the average everyday person.

Even if you sell it, you'll need a place to live afterwards. And at least in my country, home prices aren't going up fast enough to cover the scummy interest rates. Most people end up giving back twice what they took, not considering inflation, which to me is insanity.
And thing is, I'm saving 70-80% of each paycheck while not even caring about my spending. I buy whatever I want, within reason and the lack of financial stress feels awesome. Meanwhile my normie coworkers with mortgages live paycheck-to-paycheck and still have at least 15more years of living like that in order to pay off their debts. By the time they finish paying off their debts, I'll be worth twice their homes in cash + one-two inherited apartments.
The only real downside to this lifestyle is that some people will think I'm a loser for living with my folks and not having a gf. but I just look at my wealth and how I'm going to escape wageslavery in my 40s and literally nothing else matters. Freedom is more important to me than anything.
