I am a mechanical engineer by profession. I liked the job when I was on a learning curve. I still do like it - sort of. But, lately, I experienced too many people who hire you for your expertise and help, and then do not listen to you, blame you for their own stupid decisions, blame you for over-designing the projects, blame you for contractors mistakes and how come your plans didn't show how to install this or that... I got sick of all this. So one day, I started looking for an opportunity where I would not be required to deal with all this bullshit. Starting a business? No, you still need customers (mostly unreasonable, not knowing what they want, whining all the time), you need employees (worst thing ever to deal with employees which are not committed and it is hard to make them treat the business they work in as their own), you need supplies, suppliers, subs, storage (if you are in a product business or selling stuff, or even manufacturing it), urging unpaid invoices, sue people for not paying you, being sued for mistakes of others... give me a break. I have been there, and I do not want that. And don't take me wrong, I was on the executive levels, not just an employee.
The only answer I found to my problem was the stock market. But not the stock market MJ talks about and most people here think about (as a casino). Not a buy and hope strategy, but active trading management. It took me a few years to develop a viable strategy that would work for me, make me money, and quit the rat race. Investing and trading are simple, but not easy. One market wizard once said, "trading in the stock market is the hardest way to make easy money".
After years of learning, reading, practicing, and trading, learning from my mistakes, I developed a strategy that generates income in any market (up, down, or sideways). And that's all that matters to me. Make money, I can spend to pay the bills and not have to deal with anything and anyone.
Well, I am not in my early retirement yet but on the path there. If things continue the way they do, I should be out of the rat race in five years.
