You're stashing cash but sadly the govt is printing "wealth" faster than you can earn it.Originally posted by lukemg View PostReckon sooner or later all rational people get this thought bouncing around their heads.
Most do nothing about it.
Some try something else, find that is just as dull and pays peanuts and come running back (chap I know bought bar in spain with in-laws, he was back 6 months later and £50k lighter....). Respect to anyone at least trying to do something else !
Many keep going till they have acquired so many commitments, house, family, car, lifestyle that it just isn't an option to bail.
That would be me but I am furiously stashing some of the spare cash to give me options down the line.
Good luck all...
Good luck. You'll need it.

I didn't, but here I am, stuck in an office and churning out stupid Word documents and Powerpoint slides week in week out.
The money is good, I am good at what I do (it's difficult not to be) - but it's soul-destroyingly, mind-numbingly unsatisfying.
How I envy people who do what they love, and get paid well for it!
What a waste it is to spend a whole life like this!
It is your own fault.

The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved. I reckon some self love
every morning will sort you.

It's not your whole life. You will be able to retire when you are 76. Or maybe 84.Originally posted by bf2 View PostDid you all grow up imagining yourselves sitting in an office 9 to 6 when you are older?
