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.
