And that really bothered me.

And I started to actually not enjoy going to work at all.

I started to resent the fact that I had to go to work.

So my attitude actually got really bad at this workplace because I kind of lost respect for the boss and the management and the job we were doing because I didn't agree with the changes.

And there was not really much I could do about it at that point.

But my attitude got so bad that I actually got fired from that job.

And so at that point, I decided to, well, first, I wasn't actually stressed out about that because I had some savings.

So that was like a good start.

It was about $20,000 at that point that I'd saved from the last year and a half of working and renting with friends and saving up a little bit.

So instead of like going straight back to work, I decided to just take the summer off.

um and just you know take some time off relax for a bit and then figure out what i want to do after that and so that summer was awesome to be honest it was really really helpful and it really changed my outlook on life and then what i wanted to do for the future so i guess living living off my savings over summer and being able to do like whatever i wanted

At any time of the day I wanted and all the rest of it for like a period of three or four months, it kind of gave me a taste of what it was like to be wealthy without actually being wealthy because it's just the idea of having money.

You're still able to pay your bills, but you're able to do whatever you want at the same time.

So that was like really powerful in my mind.

Like, wow, this is amazing.

I have to make this like a permanent reality somehow.

I don't know how, but I just have to do it.

And the other idea was when I go back to work, I can't just be one of these robots for the next 40 or 50 years working 40 or 50 hours a week.

I just can't do it.

That's not for me.
