I know it's not a ton of money but I don't think I wagecuck anymore. Am I being stupid? Just really unhappy working but relish the days where I get to sleep late, eat something go back to sleep, play vidya, watch movies all day. I have spent over a year doing nothing and I loved it and never got bored. G/F is supportive as long as I provide a roof over the head and pay HOA fees.

Long term I've thought the same and look out for options for a replacement. She eventually wants kids which I am not going to want to wagecuck to support. I do like the intimacy, sex, watching TV with a girl in her prime. I am in the South and in most of these smaller towns just a man who has a place of his own, a car and can take a girl out to eat at a fastfood is considered successful. So it's not going to difficult to find another girl despite the growing age discrepancy because an old dog with what appears to them as lots of money can be a godsent option.

Also you have to keep in mind what the word "retire" means. If you are looking to live for the rest of your life which is like 40-50 years on 500K, You can absolutely do it. You just have to live somewhere cheap.

Thinking of sellilng my townhome and moving to cheaper town. But more rural and cheaper also generally means no options for work and no fast internet which is a really important for me.

Thought about waiting until next recession, working through it and dumping all I can in index funds but most days I can't cope with wagecucking anymore.

Also thought about part-time and another option work 3-6 months and rest of the year off. Still going to work for hours a day is a depressing thought.

Fair point. What's your guy's opinion on just "taking a break" then? Im saving up good dough and plan to have a few assets by the time I'm early 30s. Maybe chill/travel for a year. Between that, my VA and maybe GI Bill I could clear over 5k/mo while keeping my yearly expenses relatively low.

Part of me doesn't want to get caught in a sedentary cycle though. Shits vicious.

Do you want to have kids someday? Do you plan to have health insurance? Do you think HOA fees will be stable as the property gets older? Property taxes are just going to keep going up. Keep wagecucking and saving/investing until you get to $1 million liquid. You could probably be there in five years if the market doesn't tank.

Transform the 430k into a Stable Coin, get a crypto dot com Account and invest it with them for 12% p.a. take 6% out (2.150 USD/m) and let the Rest accumulate. you will habe a decent life.

>> No.16165700

Get to atleast 1m networth before you retire. You should be able to do that in 5 years if you arent stupid and the market keeps at it. Challenge yourself now and live off 18k a year if you can and invest the rest and you should hit 1m easy. Leverage your house equity if you have to.
