Positivity Escape from the wage mines

Working has given me brain damage, it has destroyed my creative abilities. It has turned me into a slave.

Having bought my freedom, I now must regenerate my brain. I'm expecting the next 3-12 months or so will be something of a winter where I must find a new path to lift the burnout fog from my consciousness. Thinking I'll go on a long vacation with no particular destination or goals. Just hit the road and keep moving.

Congratulations in getting out of the farm.
Now you must be very responsible with your money. Only invest money in risky stuff when you are able to lose it.

Congrats, will you be remaining a NEET indefinitely or is this just a temporary break? wagecucking slowly kills the soul...

I'm taking full advantage of the rotation out of tech and into commodities. A good chunk of my wealth is in what would be deemed risky and speculative positions in gold/silver/uranium miners, but the risk is spread out across different names, with a bunch in ETFs like GDX and SILJ for safer beta exposure, and I'm well in the green as I bought years ago. We're in a bull market so it's just a matter of remaining solvent until the upside targets are hit in the future. I've built up a buffer of one year's expenses that I've got in a money market ETF. Can always increase that to two or three years as the stock market gets more and more mature this year.

Then it's a matter of going big on cash secured puts once things roll over to buy the bottom in tech stocks. In the meanwhile, just going to keep selling put options and collecting the premium on GLD & SLV as I think we're mostly bottomed out there. Basically free money as the options usually expire worthless, and if I get assigned then just do covered calls and run the wheel to pay the margin premiums.

Going to head out and buy a large sack of sushi rice tonight. Buying in bulk and stocking up, as I think food prices could get more expensive towards the end of the year with everything going on, even if the Iran-Hormuz situation winds down now. Broke NEETs are going to be starving if they don't prepare.

Indefinitely retired. I sold my soul to become financially independent, now I need to reconstitute it.

Been working for 22 years. But only started building real wealth on which to retire in the last 15 years.

So if anyone thinks they're out of time to build some wealth, you don't really need as much time as you think, just need to minmax and optimize how you save and invest. A lot of people had to start over from nothing in their 40s or even 50s.

Nice title, you could make a mvie or a short book on amazon, i would read it in respect for shitposting long
