>worked as a wagie for a couple of years out of highschool
>went to college
>by the time i graduated i had made millions off crypto and will never work again

Sometimes i feel weird cause I havent really "worked" a day in my life. Like when I watch shows/films that take place in an office or some other professional work environment I feel strange, like I missed out on something. Id imagine its the feeling someone gets watching films set in college having never went yourself. Or maybe those teenage love films, when its something you never experienced...

I also often wonder what will I tell my children when they ask what their daddy does for a job? What do my children tell their friends or their friends parents? What if they had a career day at school, do I just not attend? Beyond even that when my kids eventually get older and start their own professional life, I will be completely unable to connect with their work experience. They will talk about the latest office happenings, and I will be completely unable to connect. Its just a very strange feeling.

As a wagie i can tell you that all you're missing out on is working with complete retards who dont even do the bare minimum yet get to stay because of how aggressively they gargle managements cock and balls. You're a very lucky guy to have made it. If you really want to know what it feels like to work just start your own business, this way you not only provide future positions for your children (which will solve one of your problems) but you will also continue to grow your wealth while giving other wagies an income to survive off of. Its a win win. Or you could always just work anyways despite having made it, and when youve had enough of the bullshit 99% of the others deal with you can back out and return to the rich life without any real issues.

It's some kind of guilty for getting easy money without doing any kind of efford or sacrifice for earn it. But it's better to feel guilty about "unearned money" than feeling like a pathethic loser because you are a poorfag closed in your wagecage for life. The cat looking through the window is really a good simil. There is a entire world working, but that's not your world.

I dont need to work either, mostly off property. If I could tell you one thing, it's that it's the best thing ever. The mindset a working enviroment puts you in is so odd. You feel like half of yourself, but you never know it, until you leave, then you're like "fuck"

Then you can start picking hobbies, lifting weights, meditating, reading books, being grateful. Gratitude is the big one. But the best thing about not working is you can be yourself everywhere you go. People who work are fake in the office and they bring that fakeness outside with them. They're it total conflict from how they feel they "Should" be rather than how they "want" to be

It makes you give zero fucks about other peoples opinions and judgements, because that's just other peoples insecurity. Dont be a neet with a wagie mindset. You have the best thing ever now which is time and freedom. Your mind can legit be so peaceful every day, but if you're always working then it'll never get there. Moneys great, but time and headspace is on another level. Well done, youre gonna make it

Anon don't send your children to public school. It's brainwashing. Since you have the time, put together a good homeschooling curriculum and if you and your wife are too busy to interact with your children, have the maid walk them through the lessons. Homeschooling is extremely easy these days and you can pick and choose what you want the kids to learn. There are also homeschooling groups for socializing the kids so they don't grow up "weird" and there are sports teams they can get on that aren't tied to the schools.

BTC pretty early on. Was buying it with my walmart wages and even pumped a bit of student loan money into it. I mean i had help though. I got to live with parents and didnt really have to pay for anything so i could funnel what little money i had into it.

>>29842660
Yeah i know grass is always greener. But idk its still just something i feel like i missed out on, and idk some people seem to enjoy at least the social aspect of it, cant count how many people i know who seemed happy to get back to work in the office because they got tired of working from home apparently.

>>29842665
I think that's the best way to approach it. Set a monetary goal and dont cash out until you hit it. Its literally how i did it.

>>29842709

I mean, there is no reason you can't just find something you really love and do it part time but really casually.

For example, I compete in powerlifting and then will from time to time take on a personal client who is actually motivated to get better. If I ever make it I plan on just telling people that is my job and lying about how much it pays me/how much of it I do. Gives me an excuse to stay in the gym more and get away from people if I need to be alone.

This is true. I finally pulled the trigger on quitting my job and I immediately felt a lot more peace.

How have you been dabbling in btc for so long but not made money? Just selling too early or blowing it on dumb stuff? I honestly think my mindset of not cashing out until i had a certain $ amounts worth helped me, of course it means i missed out on even more money i could have made off of it, but oh well..

Also they may just not come here often. Im not in biz as much as i used to be.

>real estate
I know its a good investment but i dont even know where to begin with it. Like i dont really enjoy the idea of having to maintain a house and find tenants. And then having to listen to sob stories about why they cant pay rent. Currently i just live off of dividends when I originally cashed out, which is far more than i can ever use.

You can hire a property management company to do literally everything for you. All you have to do is authorize them to pay for repairs and receive direct deposit to a bank account. If you have a lot of money I recommend buying an entire apartment complex. If you want to move all over the country you can buy a house with an ELOC, live there for two years, then move again and have a property management company rent it out for you (living there for two years is tax advantaged but not strictly necessary).

If you're not comfortable with it, obviously don't do it. Location is everything in real estate and if you don't know what you're doing you can easily get fucked.

find a real estate agency which will manage your property (for a fee ofc). You'll get less yes, but you won't have to deal with this shit. And do mind taxes. You can get into a LOT of trouble if you fuck up there. That's what I'd do at least. Then again I'm a newfag europoor who's pic related close to selling and losing my shit.

Be a business angel for a kickstarter or similar on the condition you get to have an (minor) active role in the project. They will be nice to you because money and you get to have the fun of projects and deadlines and stale coffee and personality clashes and zoom meetings etc. If you've got sound instincts you'll end up with another revenue stream.

this op,

i have 5,000k linkies, so i already quit my warehouse job and just cash out whenever i need to pay for food or internet.

now i just DJ at a lounge every friday and saturday. for about 200 dollars a night, its steady guranteed work, so its enough to pay for most of my bills. i love to show girls my portfolio and they get so impressed about 6 figures. and then they say somehting like "omg you should teach me, text me" then i get there numbers and never text them. i get alot of girls numbers, and just last night a cocktail waitress was asking me things like, "do my boobs look good, be honest with me what do you rate me out of ten" then she rubs her boobs all over me and basically cant keep her hands off me the whole night. i get so horny but she makes out with other bartenders.

its really fun, sometimes i go there drunk as hell other times i go high as hell and dance really good, i get a big smile on my face as i feel the music. i love to see people enjoying themselves screaming to the music dancing haveing fun, even if they dance like losers.

i love to play techno, house, and shit liek that, i hate hip hop tho. i play alot of underground stuff
seriously life is so good and so fun. all i look forward to is playing on the weekend, and its what i have been doing every weekend for the past 4 months.

You have to do shit your boss tells you which is just outright retarded. Your coworkers are mostly NPCs and after some weeks you already start asking yourself: "is this all there is to life? sitting in an office 8h per day for the rest of my life while others get to do whatever they feel like with their free time?"
