Financial Freedom and Advice for a young man in his early 20s.

Garrett Ian Dean
Posted

I'm a young, driven and passionate man who just turned 22 today and started my first day at my first corporate job just to come to find out I desperately hate this lifestyle of trading your precious hours of your life to "get by", the act of trading your soul for soulless work that I could care less about. I desperately post on here for advice and guidance from someone who understands me and can offer a helping hand to help me escape this lifestyle of trading your most valuable asset time for money that undermines every second of my worth.

@Garrett Ian Dean you want financial freedom, to quit your job, your time back, and random people on the internet to understand you?

People trade time for money all the time.  The super smart ones plan very well and have all the time they want and all the money they need by 50.  Some geniuses have it figured out my 40.  A prodigy by 30.

You should expect 20-30 years of hard work to get anywhere close to financial freedom.  

If that is not for you no problem, quit your job, rent a room from a friend, trade stuff on FB marketplace and work part time at a restaurant or something, just don't expect financial freedom. 

Wanting your time back and financial freedom is a child's dream.  Achieving financial freedom is going to cost you MANY years of your life.
