| I’m also 50. If I were 22 in 2025 instead of being 22 in 1996, I would definitely do what I needed to do to exchange as much money as possible for my labor instead of toiling away at an enterprise dev job making $70K a year when instead I could be graduating college making $170K to $200k+. I did do my bid in a FAANG working remotely between the ages of 46-49 and I saw first hand the doors it opens and the experience that college grads had that they couldn’t get anywhere else, Hell, it open doors for me. There is no way I could have found jobs as quickly as I did both last year and the year before without it. Also even at 46-49 I learned a lot that has helped me since I left. On another note: after my youngest graduated, my wife and I sold everything we owned and after traveling for a year, we settled down in our vacation home (a unit in a condotel we own). We rent it out when we decide to travel for an extended period of time. The “hotel” part of the condotel takes care of everything. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/condotel.asp |
