Retiring at 30

This. The biggest lesson you youngins need to take home is that you only get one chance. Go all out man.

Mercilessly exploit your environment.
Don't fight two enemies at one.

Live Long and Prosper.

This is some deep shit, man.

I can't think of anything worse that retiring at 30. you still don't know shit by then and it's not even the mid life point.

What, am I supposed to have a third-life crisis now?

Singing the praises of computer programming one day, talking about retiring from it at 30 the next.


I plan on retiring as early as possible. I'd retire at 30 if I could. But not to do nothing. I have so many hobbies and projects I would love to do full time without having to necessarily make a living off of them.

When I got my first job in high school at a grocery store there was a 70+ year old guy who worked as a sacker because if I remember correctly according to him he didn't have anything else to do and got bored otherwise. I understand people who never retire from being a real estate agent, lawyer, professor or something. But to start working an hourly job cause you'd be bored otherwise is kind of sad at least to me given the transience of life. There are so many cool things in the world to do, to see or learn, and to not be interested in them is foreign to me. I know he came from a different generation that really valued hard work in and of itself but still. And it was a hard job too, especially in the summer when it would be 100 degrees+ outside.

i need work to take a break from hobbies and everything to keep a level head and maintain order. i can totally see where that guy is coming from. its not like he was working more than part time hours, don't see how that fills up so much time to avoid any said hobbies anyway

I think he worked full time 40 hours a week. And you'd be tired the rest of the day afterwards.

That being said, I have heard other people say their work gives their life structure as well and I can see that point of view.

Who knows maybe his wife died and/or has no family. At age 70 it's not as simple as doing whatever you want. Most do what they're familiar with in his case sounds like working. To most the worst thing is to be alone.

RIP

I 'retired' at 32 with enough cat biscuits to get through life, think I lasted about 8 months before I got bored and decided to make more money for something to do.

That is the dumbest thing ive ever heard. Ar 30 your still young and active. Ill give you a year before your brain turns to shit and you will be inclined to find a part time job.

Owner of a small company I worked for came in every day at 6am so he wouldn't be stuck at home all day with his wife. Granted he sat in his office all day with his dog reading the paper and talking on the phone.

How much does it England cost? Can one buy a country?

I think most people try to fit their passion into work. It doesn't seem like work and it is something you will never retire because you love it.

Retiring at 30 might be great for some people that don't really have a curious mind and enjoy learning and creating but I think everyone at some level would like to do something meaningful.

I don't think I will ever retire. Obviously you have to adapt your schedule to old age but I would still be probsbly just teaching kids when I'm 80. I don't even see myself being close to the goals I have and I would Image late 40s would be when I am doing exactly what I want.

So, lazy?

Moms spaghetti

I thought you had to be over 60 to be able to Retire ( or extremely rich)

I think this is basically what I was getting at in my post. The only thing for me is why does being curious and enjoying learning have to be in the context of a career working for someone else? I think many careers are actually an obstacle to doing those things because you are always too busy and stressed to pursue deeper meaning and purpose. I understand self-employed people never retiring or people who have very fulfilling careers. However, from my own observation and experience those types of careers aren't the norm.

And obviously this conversation is mostly theoretical. Most people have to continue working until a certain age for financial reasons. This is more of a what if conversation.
