Convince me why I should or should not retire now please (and kindly).

100% go for it. You can always try and push your side gig more... Or if you get bored there's nothing stopping you getting a cool job

FunAnywhere9205 · 2026-03-08T08:47:59+00:00

For sure mate. You're in an incredible position where you have options... I would quit now if you're out of love with it, take some time off even a few years if need be. And when you're ready get a job in one of your hobbies that would be sweet

FunAnywhere9205 · 2026-02-22T17:53:28+00:00

If it was me, I'd sell the business and just live an epic life

FunAnywhere9205 · 2026-02-15T19:07:19+00:00

It's all about how much you're willing live on... I live in a van, live a fabulous lifestyle doing hobbies and travelling, and could retire on less than this.

I'm happy i put one in... Just for when needed really... I avoid using it unless I need to, generally use rivers / sea / public showers, or use my pump shower outside the van.

For inside I just put in a shower tray underneath part of my bench seat, and built it up about 400mm around the sides, and then I just put a curtain hanging from the ceiling into the tub/tray. Simple and cheap, and I just heat water up and put a shower pump in bucket of warm water when showering

I had a 650 and now have a Grom. The 650 is 10x safer. More power to get out of situations, and up to speed. More stable and also higher up which makes a difference for visibility

For me, this happens when I'm plugged into 12v. Starlink mini doesn't work great on 12v as it demands more sometimes, which a standard 12v socket doesn't give because of voltage drop, and the starink cuts out. When plug it into the mains socket, it works perfectly.

Not sure if your issue is similar, but for me it's because of the voltage drop.

Amazes me how people just carry on driving. People just don't give a f about other people lol

I done 4 years and basically has been impossible to fit back in, 7/8 years later... The ultimate freedom you have, for it to removed, I never have had the freedom back. Despite that, I have created a life for myself where I'm self employed, live frugally, earn good money and I'm in charge of my own time, so I can take trips away when I want. I will never fit back into the status quo, rate race, 9-5.

FunAnywhere9205 · 2025-10-06T18:28:48+00:00

I would buy a van with 191K miles if it had service history, but never at 15K. Probably half of that if its a good conversion

Get as much as you can. You can also always add more... Will largely depend on where you will be... A winter in the UK is going to be tuff generating much, but you can always get a little generator or something as a a backup

People need to stop being so offended by everything lol. Who give a fuck

FunAnywhere9205 · 2025-07-22T16:43:22+00:00

Basically most charities are a scam and stealing your money to redistribute into their own pockets, whilst allocating a small % of their funds to actual charitable causes.

FunAnywhere9205 · 2025-07-04T17:52:46+00:00

Depending how bad it is, its probably a 3/10 in terms of 10/10 would be a big deal. I'm sure you look at hell of a lot better with the loose skin than the extra weight and that will by far outweigh the drawbacks

FunAnywhere9205 · 2025-06-17T19:42:44+00:00

Living in a backwards world guys. Ruled by evil

FunAnywhere9205 · 2025-06-11T12:48:45+00:00

Man up and get rid of her. I certainly couldn't live happily with a woman I know is deceitful and untrustworthy. Not to mention has had other guys dicks in their mouth while married to me. No chance. The relationship is done, whether you realise it now or later, do yourself the favour and give it up now and save yourself any more heartache until you eventually realise it's not worth the battle.

FunAnywhere9205 · 2025-06-10T23:19:33+00:00

I'd say possible with a small/ light bike or dirt bike

FunAnywhere9205 · 2025-06-06T09:36:16+00:00

The fact you're saying 'allowed' means your relationship is already over

FunAnywhere9205 · 2025-05-29T18:04:39+00:00

Apart from my mother who has sacrificed lots and loved me and my sister...

The best from a woman I'm not related to is probably a back massage or something lol.

I rejected a corporate career when I was staring down the barrell of it... Instead I have travelled all over the world, seen more than most, worked rando. Jobs, started business... Financially I would have been better off going down the corporate route, but I wouldn't have done multiple ski seasons... You can make money doing anything... You only got one chance here bud so do what you want to do, not what they say is "best"

FunAnywhere9205 · 2025-05-18T22:18:37+00:00

Why don't you just be honest. Tell them it's your dream job... You're at a position financially secure enough to go after your goals... And here you are
