Dear crypto and other investments,

I have come to the realization that I absolutely do not want to work for the rest of my life. I would much rather spend my time living it up with my gf and the boys, traveling the world and living my life. Therefore, I am counting on you to not be an endless disappointment and come through clutch.

Love, someone who will go full office space if you fail me.

Agreed. Right now I’m trying to enjoy the working ride and gain skills and interests for retirement. A common refrain in the FIRE community is that you need to retire into something—a hobby, a passion, a project. Forums are filled with people who achieve financial independence, retire, and sink into depressions. Your gf and the boys will have their own schedules and goals that don’t line up with yours. And any investment that got you there quickly could just as quickly come cratering down. Still the goal, but I’m fine with taking the scenic route there.

Yeah and people made a lot of money 20 years ago. The goal is obviously to be one of those people and not someone who loses everything. And I think the correct saying would be there's no such thing as a free lunch for everyone

As a law student interested in going into the field I’ve seen a lot of negative comments saying that only lawyers who couldn’t get into big law go into PA. Although I know most people try to get into big law initially, it is very competitive and many don’t stay past 2-3 years. You certainly don’t make as much going into PA as a lawyer but the pay is certainly not bad and the WLB is generally much better. Can anyone speak to how they got into PA and if you would rather be working in Big Law
