    Took a chance on an old flame from years ago. Happiest I’ve been in a long time

    Moving across the country for work. It paid off as expected

    Left the royal navy after nine years. No regrets.

    quit my stable job with no backup plan
    burned out, undervalued, tired of being a cog
    everyone said “just wait a bit longer”

    i didn’t

    moved cities
    went broke for a minute
    but found work i actually like
    built skills i’d never touch if i stayed
    met better people
    became someone i actually recognize in the mirror

    biggest risk
    but finally feels like my life now, not one i rented

    you? what’s yours?

    Invested my entire net worth, besides my home, into the company I worked for. Not only was the investment risky, but I had to stay and endure a job that I was ready to leave for like 5 years. It was shit. But luckily it paid off and combined with my other savings, I was able to retire early.

    Opened a store. Judgement is still out.

    Left the navy after 11 years. It’s not as bad out here as my leadership made it seem when they were trying to convince me to stay in.

    Risked big in crypto…and made enough to retire in 30s(like luxurious retire)

    I have been following since 2015, so I was familiar with its pattern of hype and crash, timed it perfectly.
