I think everyone of us can relate to the title. The sad part is I don't really hate my job. I hate everything associated with my job. The mandatory 6 days a week. The one day I have off to do everything I have put off until then. The no time I have to spend time with my family. The beauracracy of the company, rewarding the slow and lazy, but making the knowledgeable do more for same pay.
I originally wrote the above paragraph back in January. Man oh man has things changed. I still hate my job, but thats the reason I quit it. About a week and a half ago I walked out. I did call my boss's boss (who I have a good rapport with) and explained once again the reasons I was leaving. Even without a notice I left on good terms, if things were to change I would probably return.
The morning after I quit I had a job interview with a rival company in area. Now I live in a county in the southeast of the US with a population of under 40,000 people. When I walked out I expected to have to job hunt. Nope, within a week I have a job in the same field, with 3 days off a week. I get Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off every week for the first time in 3 years. I took a pay cut, but its extremely small, and they agreed to salary I wanted without question. Unlike previous employer, I will make more according to what I know and can do. I also will receive a $2000 sign on bonus in first 6 months, and a company profit share every year, along with various bonuses a year.
What gave me the courage to leave a job I hated? Cryptocurrency! That's right, without that nest egg I've been growing, I would still be completely miserable. Over the past 6 months I have grown my portfolio, that need be I could pay my bills for nearly 6 months. It was a pleasant surprise to have another job a week later though.
I still have my goal of making enough in crypto to partially retire in four and a half years. Buy a house in location of my choice and work part time somewhere like a bait shop lol. This latest dip really through me for a loop this morning, but I will probably get to all that in tomorrow's post.
Do Your Own Research, dont Fear of Missing Out, and stick to your game plan. I don't do social media, and I get most of my information through project sites. The few times in the beginning I did listen to some shill market some coin on YouTube, I lost money. I decided to go my own way and invest in what I thought best at the moment. Again, Do Your Own Research!
Since, I once again have weekends off, I'm going to try my best to make posting a regular affair again. Also, if you can, buy the dip people.
I'm not a financial advisor and I do not tell anyone how they should invest. Do Your Own Research! If you have a question ask. Surely if I don't know someone reading comments will.
