Worked like a dog for years. 250k(AUD) savings. 30, male, white, Australia, Engineer.

No debt. No assets (other than car and belongings). No shares etc.

I can't work anymore, I want the ride to end.

What Can I do?

go long on AMD

How did you save so much
>>
Saving every penny. Working on an above average wage (80kish). Delayed Gratification. Australian Housing market is fucked.

Move to another country preferably a developing economy and put all your money in high interest term deposit say 8% and live happily since you already are frugal this shouldn't be tough

250k isn't enough to auto-ride to the finish line, you'll have to risk with investments

You will be bored as fuck. 30 hours a week is far better than neetlife.

Learn grant writing. Volunteer at a non profit you support to get experience for a year. Be instantly employable at almost any non profit on a part time basis and be able to work remotely.

Get a job that pays less that you like more. Throw that 250k in the bank and divide it up by how long u plan on living.

Use it to give yourself a vacation.

Im 30. Usa. Little debt and assets.

I wanted to jump off mr. Bones ride this year.

I wont even get into it. But dont kys man.

U gotta make a daily and concious effort to be happy.

You get hurt and cant work or u just sick of killing it? I used to work hard brother. Never got me shit bit the job of 2 people and pay of 1. Through dumb luck i got a deacent paying fuckoff job a 1 week vacation every 6 months.

Finally happy until i can retire.

Come to the USA and live on less. Broads here love the accent anyway.

Just look how things worked out for Heath Ledger. Academy award winner.

Because an IOM licence would be almost half of OP's budget.

An NT Gaming licence about a year to process, but the advantage is you can advertise in Australia.

IOM is expensive but allows you to advertise in Europe.

It really just depends what you're after.

Wagecuckery is a dead end

>>1604594
House prices/rent are high as fuck in Sydney, not sure how that compares to the UK but look into it.
>>
Ask if you can go on a sabbatical, put 200k into something fairly reliable (maybe AFIC or ARGO shares), go and live in Thailand or some other cheap place for a few months to get away from it all/reassess your life.
