Why don't you take the financial freedom pill?

> Used to be a loser no one cared about.
> Shut off all social life, decided to grind on a business every single day
> Few years pass and started making way more than my job
> Left wage slave job, start growing business even more
> Went on forums and met up with like-minded people who also do their own thing
> Get invited to social events regularly with other interesting people
> Planning on selling business, then taking a year to read, travel, spend all day on my hobbies, contribute time to a cause that's meaningful to me (i.e. a children's cancer hospital), then will jump into another project that both interests and financially rewards me
> Realizing I'm finally actualizing my potential

Curious if anyone else had a similar experience. So far not enough money to live off dividends but feels awesome knowing I am no one's salary slave. No one can buy me or force me to do anything. Finally carving my own path despite the naysayers.

saving up about $10k a year to buy some shitter ghetto houses when the housing market inevitably shits itself again. through section 8 the gvmt will guarantee 80% of the rent and the niggers wont break shit lest they be kicked out of free housing. the rent is like $1200 for some 3 bed trap house too, an insane ROI, and if you want to go real slumlord you can just build a bedroom where the living room used to be to crank up the approved rent. the downside is the inspections, but the requirements are archaically low, just don't black mold or any holes in the wall bigger than your fist. you can always sell the property at the height of the RE bubble or when the area gentrifies. reinvesting the proceeds, i expect to be a millionaire within 12-15 years.

can you elaborate? Not sure what my alternative was. My goal wasn't even the money, but freedom to leave my soulsucking job and to actualize my potential. I looked around and only saw people burying themselves a premature death.

And now your employees are wage slaving for you.

>>15754006
Im probably the opposite of you OP I work 35 hour weeks at a government job which doesnt tax my mind or body too much, so I have plenty of time and energy to pursue my interests.

Your path is a tough one, it carries more risk, involves more luck, requires a lot more time/effort all while being less stable - and its easy to forget all the people who get their lives shredded by this. That said it does give you a big degree of "fuck you" freedom.

I know that for people with the entrepreneurial bent and are willing to exchange time for that kind of freedom it definitely is the best path, however its no necessarily the best for everyone and in fact wouldn't work if everyone tried it. Not for commie reasons mind you but because people who trade stability for lower income are the greatest sources of profits.

Well done though OP I can tell youve put a lot of work in

So you have a degree and no debt i.e. you occupy an advantageous position compared to 90% of your people your age. The only way you could fuck it up is if you are horribly incompetent.

I actually started gov, then went contracting, then spent time freelancing, then created my own contracting agency, and now e-commerce, which is killing it right now. It just takes a lot of dedication. I looked at the alternative and said I'd rather die. Literally cut out every friend, all social media, tv, and committed myself to make this the one thing I succeed at. Fast forward a few years of that and turns out it works. Can't see how it couldn't work.

But you're right, it's not the best for everyone. If not this path I would have stayed in a nice gov job and living overseas.

Im glad you are able to appreciate this. The relative isolation that comes with that kind of sacrifice can all too often retard a persons empathy and understanding.

The worst people ive ever met tend to be those who have failed at this path particularly those stuck in the contracting phase of things due to a lack of courage to follow through.

1. see >>15754205

2. Gov job I had a STEM degree, for freelancing I just cold emailed a shit ton, contract agency I just filed paperwork and worked with a buddy and emailed a shit ton, then for e-commerce I studied several niches and found one undervalued, got really good at making ads, web funnels, web design, product design, working with a manufacturer, etc.
Honestly I mostly faked it til I made it. Often times I was the only one who showed up for a lot of shit too.

Lol I graduated uni and did all this shit as soon as I landed my first real job. If really wanting to get out uni then learn a trade and save up to buy fixer-upper homes, then flip them using the skill you already have and with some people you know. Keep doing that over and over and put extra money into a very safe investment portfolio. Other than that something software related

>>15754248
To be honest very few people understood. I just wouldn't bring it up. I'd say work is really intense or studying for a certification for work, and I'd be left alone. If I said "I'm working on my business", no one would empathize. Luckily I traveled a lot for work and would just work in my hotel, forced to be isolated anyway.
