I don't want to actually 'retire' at all. I am fine for money now, but I don't want to have nothing to do, no reason to get up in the morning...
To be smart enough to get into Bitcoin, it requires a risk-taking and adventurous nature - I can't see how 'sitting on a beach' is going to be any fun at all for the majority of us!
I have some land overseas in a place I am fond of and I am looking at building there, perhaps to rent out for a while (it will pay for itself then) and it can either be where I go to for breaks, or to retire, or help out my income in old age.
I still run a business, but I just put all the staff on a profit share and told then I won't be around as much, so it's more up to them. They are working much harder now, so the business is growing more, it's great to see. I am now going in to work when I feel like it, just to cheer them on - I no longer have to, I enjoy it. I did just buy a new car, not a lambo - but something classy that isn't pretenetious and feels a pleasure to drive. To have nowhere to go and no reson to go in it woudl be heartbreaking.
Us Bitcoiner, we can't do 'nothing' - but we can do something positive, which we enjoy. We can all trust our investment instincts, right - so cash a litte out and well, invest it in something we are excited about - that we can enjoy.
Oh - and (if you're already much better off) don't keep waiting forever to cash something out, it may not last forever and life certainly doesn't.
I guess I'm adventurous in some ways and not adventurous in others. I like to jump out of perfectly functioning airplanes at 12000 feet. But I never thought about creating a business, because it seemed to be too much work.
Now, my job is very dull and I guess working a lot but for something you really like would not be that bad in comparison.
I used to be unemployed for a long time, even when I started into cryptocurrencies, and when I finally was offered a job that I was going to be good at, my goals were simple : save the maximum of money possible, make it grow by investing wisely, and buying a house after a few years thanks to that money, all the while getting very good at my job to grow into my company. The first part worked better than planned, I'm very good at my job too, but to grow into my company, you must suck dick or something, or just wait for years. After 6 months I was better at it than colleagues with a lifetime of experience, but I still earn much less. I'm also the only one who can speak English, in fact amongst about 50 colleagues doing a similar job none of them speak English, when more and more we need to call tech support and generally communicate in English, all documentation is in English, all help you can find on the web is in English, etc.
So now I'm considering quitting, not to do something else but as a bargaining chip to get a new contract, better paid, and with better incentives (a car I could use outside work). If BTC stays above 3000€ for the next 6 months I'll do it, and too bad if they let me go.
Sorry bro. Just answered his question honestly...
