[quote=ltsdd][quote=flyer]From what we’ve heard from friends in tech, you’d better have your F. U. funds and/or passive income rolling in at least by the time you’re 50, and that also seems to apply to lots of other fields today, as more and more people become more and more dispensable in the workplace as they grow older. I’ve always believed that was the smart way to go, even if you continue working past 50.[/quote]
Regardless of the situation, everyone should start working on their go-to-hell fund as soon as they start working. Your goal shouldn’t be to be gainfully employed past 50, but to be able to say Fvck it at an age where you still have your health and can still enjoy life.[/quote]
Totally agree. Since we were able to create the gth fund very early in our lives, we’ve pretty much been in a financial position to choose the things we enjoy doing most of our lives–and was actually commenting on the comment below wrt tech employment in my previous post. . .
“And hopefully if you’re one of the old farts that decided to stop learning, you’ve saved enough F.U. money from when you were milking it when your skills were in demand, that you don’t care anymore in your old age. Or you have passive income coming from elsewhere.”
