I recently took a 2 month contract job, for a place I've done work for in the past. It was out of the blue I get a call last Friday and by Wednesday I was there. The guy I'm doing the work for (its a company that is in the coal industry) tells me I need to read this book because it's talking about me..

The book is called the "4 hour work week". I'm only two chapters in and god damn if there isn't a lot in this that fits me like a T... The author oversells the idea a bit with a lil too much flash, but still fairly interesting to read and much of what I've done to give myself my freedom.

One thing I'm taking away from it so far, is that I am my own bottle neck, which is something you sort of understand but don't see it until it's pointed out.

As for myself, I opted out of permanent jobs, buying property/houses or working endlessly on making some business which runs my life. In stead I said fuck it all and went to do what I wanted which for now is to travel around the country and live different places.

I didn't worry about having X amount of money in the bank or X amount of income, I just did it and figured out how to make it work as I went. Three years later I'm still at it. It's pretty crazy to start reading a book you never heard of before and realize it tells your current story.


In before the Trumpnuts cry about liberals, like every other topic on this board..
