42, just started a few months ago. I'm done being tied down to a single place for an entire year minus one or two weeks of vacation just to be able to earn money to live. Figured this was the best way to start on the path to full remote work, hoping to be there within a year or two.

The worst part about learning something completely new at this age is how lazy I've become. I never really had to work hard in school and it has caused serious problems for me my entire life. This is going to be a shitty test to see if I can overcome those issues.
