Being a commodity trader sitting in Geneva or Zurich (zug ) making millions is all nice and fun till you get a heatwave then you are stuck in office w barely aircon and you don’t even have aircon at home

He wants to:
Travel more
Upgrade the house
Work less
But he’s worried about “running out of money.”
Time to spend, or not?
The political situation in Romania is getting embarrassing at this point.
Yeah, I know it’s not as bad as canceling an election, but he’s supposed to be one of the “good guys”

Not a fan of country hopping but found myself in 5 countries in the last month or so.
Bulgaria, Spain, Switzerland, Austria and of course Romania
Nice change of pace but I need to get settled back here in Bucharest
Software isn't all sunshine and rainbows.
Honestly, easier to run a B2B service biz than software. Easier to explain to and onboard clients. Command higher prices.
Software is more scaleable, but harder to get off the ground.

Folks, this reminds me that cultures have historically been marred by illegal aliens.
One moment you’re enjoying your hard fought societal traditions and values, the next invaders decide your land and your people should look like theirs.
The Prince of Walachia wasn’t some cartoon villain, he was a great hero to his people.
When the Turks came rolling in, he did what was necessary to protect his culture and way of life.
Sometimes the only thing standing between your civilization and the next wave of invaders is a motivated PATRIOT willing to do what it takes. Respect

The goal isn't FIRE or sitting on a beach drinking margaritas at 40 scrolling X.
The goal is waking up and deciding what to work on, where to live, and who to work with.
Not spendign 40 years at ZogCorp.
The rest is up to you...
Step 6: Leave corporate.
Either start your own firm or work as a consultant part-time. Do the same work you spent the last decade doing.
Your investments should be bringing in a little income. Add on top of that part-time work in a lower COL city (country?) and you're golden.
If I were giving life advice to a teenager, this would be my blueprint:
1.) Learn a high-income skill
2.) Get paid
3.) Live cheap
4.) Invest aggressively
5.) Build a freedom fund
6.) Leave corporate
7.) Work on your own terms

I feel bad for guys who made easy money. There's no free lunch in life.
I'd rather build wealth the old-fashioned way: business cards, handshakes, client dinners, and years of grinding.
