This is absolutely what I’m trying to build brother
focus on higher levels of purpose
That's the dream. I will never stop building until I'm dead.
> be bored,
I've started to work a little more on this part.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you will do with your time when you own it completely.
I would say first of all traveling, meeting new people and new cultures and try to do something for other people
💯
I would also love to see you bored 😄
Inspiring- I love your definition of the word. I’ve had the chance to “retire” for 12mo+ a couple times. Each time coming out with a new direction or a creative project. Motivated for this next one to be the third, and final, “retirement”… owning my time permanently.
I love your perspective too, similar but different.
One of the greatest things is bringing my son to school every day and being home when he comes back.
I honestly think once you’re bored you’ll find something which gives you meaning in life faster
No?
Right now life is just 9-5 hustle, eat, sleep and repeat.
💯
Word, word.
The beautiful thing about Bitcoin is that Ive been taking a break between jobs for a few months, and denominated in dollars my savings has actually gone up even though Ive spent about $7K 🤣
Few. I would never have had the cranial bandwidth to finally study Bitcoin until I left my job. It changed everything.
BTC is a huge freedom giver in this regard.
Pairs well with having in-demand skills, a deep professional network and reputation for getting shit done.
This is the way. Freedom to control your own time 🙏🏽⚡️
We need this to take over the world in order to move humanity forward.
Otherwise, we’ll continue to stack jobs that just move numbers/words from one screen to another with no real world growth progression.
Yeah I think so too. It was considered more normal to not need to sell one's entire workweek just decades ago. We will return to that, more voluntary contributions to causes, and better pay.
I retired early and feel grateful that I don’t have to work until I’m 67 like the state encourages for optimal pension.
It’s a new beginning for me since I’m not used to having all this time. Boredom is definitely a factor but it’s a pleasant feeling because I’d be working instead for a job I don’t want to be in. Just need to think about what I want to do with all this time I now gained.
As long as you have a mindset you're going to do great.
It took a lot of different turns for me to roll into a set of productive habits.
So you retire from what you don’t like to work on what you believe in . That’s still working imo
Of course, but with the ability to say no. I've never been employed, I've never had a boss. It doesn't suit me. After I figured out how to own my time I still wanted to do things, but the necessity was gone so the motivation came from something else entirely.
Please continue
What do you do with your time now, and why do you choose to do it?
I made my financial freedom in construction, and I still love doing that work. I've dedicated a year to Nostr by being on the Nostreport team. I spent three years full time studying bitcoin, Austrian economics and philosophy. Now the past seven months I'm starting up a mining company. I choose to do what suits me, what feels good.
100% choice is an epic place to get to
What did you create as a result?
I bought 4 properties in the absolute bottom of the market cycle, fixed them up by myself and turned those properties into 8 rental units. Took me 2.5 years of 80 hours per week. When I was done it bought me approximately 8 years to figure out what to do next before the rules would change. Usually that's the amount of time you get until you need to reinvest. This allowed me to study bitcoin full time, which changed everything.
👏 👏
I retired at 41 and started a new life full of time, freedom, and family. I have many things to say about that experience, and one of them is that you will confront fear, your own ego, and that of others. No one will understand you leaving the system to pursue your dreams; they will confront you. Do it in silence, that's my advice. When you achieve it, everyone will live off your dream.
I recognize much of what you say. I was far enough separated from normal that I could conclude nobody I knew would ever really understand me for my choices. I only became better at explaining myself much later.
First time my ego went out the window was when I quit university because I saw what it wanted me to become, I did the only thing I could think of and started out as a carpenter. When I had to tell people what I did I had to tell myself I had nothing to prove, over and over. Apparently I had confused my identity to be academic, and had a hard time being thought of as a dumb worker. It took some time before I realized my judgement of blue collar was actually even dumber than my false appraisal of myself.
Enhorabuena!👏 👏
Yo quiero jubilarme a los 50 😅
I've sold physical real estate to buy Bitcoin. Did you decide to re-allocate?
Well done on building yourself that position! True creativity can then happen
I would argue that Bitcoin does exactly that for you, without needing to be an expert at renovating property
Thank you. Yes, of course the bite of the Bitcoin bug was quite convincing.
I hope you will reach your goal!
Congratulations.
I pray to get to this one day
perfect time to pick up a new skill too or learn an instrument. ⚡️🔊
