Anyone else have a corporate job that’s exhausting & demoralizing, that also funds your entire life on a month-to-month basis, so you feel locked in & trapped because you know that replacing it would take more effort than you really have left at the end of the day?

And are also blessed to have a partner depending on you who has an optimistic, if not unrealistic outlook on life pushing you to make a “leap of faith” style radical restructuring of your complete lives without any real plan?

If you’re exhausted and demoralized AND only getting by month to month, what type of life is that? It’s not even a sacrifice for the future by building wealth.

Time for a leap of faith.

When ever I have come to a conclusion, leap of faith. I ask myself how did I get here. I was never like this before.
So I get a peice of paper draw three columns. First column I put what's bad, second column I put what's good. Third column what is the best interest for myself to do.
Honestly take inventory for a best outcome. You want is best.
Try to avoid escalation.
This only makes things worse.
If you have come to a part of your life where you discover you have dug yourself into a deep hole.
The first thing that you must do to get back out.
Is to stop digging.
Try a different approach.
" It is never to late to change the road that your on.

Is there anything you can do right now, without the leap of faith, to make it better? I’m all for a big shake-up, but not sure that fixes the underlying issues either. More often than not, just trading one for the other.

Yup - kinda like just expending a lot of energy to jump from one frying pan into another less familiar one.

All that I know is that when everyone leaves the room. You are still there.
You have yourself. So it is in your best interest to take care of yourself .
Be kind, patient and considerate to yourself like you would be to a best friend.
You may have made a mistake. But that's Ok. You are aloud to. If you were only allowed to make one mistake. Then you wouldn't be allowed to do anything else.
So what I do. Is I dust myself off, stand up, and fly right.
This way I have more fun and less discouragement.

Yes I do! I just plan to stick it out since it keeps me afloat financially

I’ll be taking a look at all the recent SPACs that had huge runs. The plan is to watch for momentum to start fading and play some puts at or around merger votes.

All of these have huge supply coming to market and I plan to be on the other side of the retail suckers
