While going about my duties today, I saw someone who talked about not wanting to be working a terrible job in their old age, and I could relate to what they were saying. Life expenses has made it very difficult to enjoy a simple 9 to 5.
When I was younger there were people who copes with marital problems by going to work, the bury themselves in their work, and find comfort in it.
I know I dealt with health problems and family issues as well as heartbreak issues by constantly choosing to work and Hustle, but then life got costlier, and people had to do x10 of what the previously did in the past, just to survive.
Long time ago passion and work dedication was something everyone was familiar with, nowadays you can barely make enough to pay off all your responsibilities and still have enough money to save for either a car or a house.
This is why modern day 9 to 5 is pure slavery. This is how people developed hypertension, and develop all sort of chronic illnesses of the heart and mind, because they had to pay to live.
Personally for me I have discovered too late that there is no perfect time to begin planning for a time to retire.
A person can basically be retired at 23, while this sound so strange, we actually have to understand that most of the things we plan for are some of the things that will never even get to live to see their consequences.
Unexpected events are what brings consequences, because nobody actually goes to the market to check the price of a wheelchair, they only do so when they lose their mobility.
Why no sane person plans to buy a wheelchair while they can still walk, the type of life we live now requires us to plan for these things even though the chances of them happening are very slim.
2025 has been a year of discovery for me, I lend that there was truly financial freedom in crypto, unfortunately I just didn't have the liquidity enough to tap into someone this opportunities.
I have seen people in there 20s completely financial free just from crypto alone, and most of the opportunities that these guys are actually involved with, have made sure that they are probably not going to go broke again.
It's ironical that I discovered crypto early, but only learned 80% of it in 2025.
I have come to understand that there are so many endless opportunities, only if you can choose to learn and only if you have some liquidity to begin with.
This year, I got some new tools to begin exploring so many crypto opportunities, and I have learned so much. Unfortunately I'm now learning in my 30s. While "30s" might sound young, you need to understand that I started hustling at 16, and.it feel like I've been way too long in the game.
Most of the lessons I have learned have come with consequences, but I'm glad I didn't continue living as I was; in the dark, and clueless. I hope we can still get an alt season this cycle, this should be integral to how I plan to explore the knowledges I've gotten so far.
