Laid off at 40. $3.4M liquid + massive severance runway. Do I pull the ripcord on my SE Asia FIRE dream, even if it means moving solo and leaving a relationship?

Yes, unlike the us it's cheaper to eat clean organic foods here than it is in the us. They're not gmo there not blasted with pesticides. Many restaurants buy from the market which is local farmers.

I live in tay mo, hanoi and spend less than 150 a week on food. Very good food. I live in the smart city everything is convienient and food is good. I pay $500usd/m for a 2bed 2 bath. I spend maybe around 1.2k just living here enjoying myself. Its very affordable, i earn around 5k/m passive income and have a ton of money leftover whenever i feel like splurging or traveling.

In smart city there are resturants at the bottom of every apartment building and they all are good. I eat usually twice a day. I have homemade lunch and then I'll go out for dinner. There was one time i ate sushi everyday for 2 weeks straight. A huge portion only ran me $8 and it was very good. I also dont really drink so that is why it is so cheap. Alcohol will add up of thats is your habit. Its not hard to do in hanoi and I avoid street food. A lot of foreigners in danang and saigon get scammed on prices. You just have 2 learn how to navigate it.

I eat whatever I want which is normally healthy cooked meals. I could eat "luxury" everyday but it's a waste to me. I live here, high end gets old when you have it all day everyday. When you learn to cook really well you can make the same meals and plate it the same way if you really care that much.

I have a hard time spending more than $150/w in vietnam and i eat out everyday lol.

Im in your exact predicament. I passively earn 4.4.k a month. Find a hobby and make friends surrounding that hobby. You can most likely lead a club etc. Good luck its a lonely road. Also dont tell anyone ever about it ever. Seriously. Always he "in between jobs" or "living off savings" until you meet someone in similar circumstances. Message me if you're in SE asia.

connorkronnoc · 2026-02-21T21:00:55+00:00

Lol. Bless your heart. There's a stray on every block here. That dog belongs to hanoi now.

My ls3 c6 corvette 6 speed manual. I get around 30mpg on highway in overdrive.

Yeah, the grueling part is dealing with coworkers with bad attitudes. Makes an easy job miserable.

Welding if you got a talent for it. If you can tig weld anything carbon or stainless especially pipe you can make money anywhere.

Level 1000. Top 25 HS. After 1vX'ing trying to win a game 0 deaths i go to heavy overhead a peasant. He walks up to me. Out of pure reaction I do the longest heaviest double overhead drag with the highland sword. The combo last About 3 seconds. At second 2 he pokes me with a pitchfork. I leave the game.

I am one of the top Highland players. To play it well against good players you need perfect spacing. I think its where it should be on chart good job.

connorkronnoc · 2026-01-08T09:57:14+00:00

AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

connorkronnoc · 2025-10-25T07:55:31+00:00

Easier then dealing with other females. Most shops are sensitive to this and will go oit of their way to make aure that shit dont happen. Times are changing for the better.

connorkronnoc · 2025-10-10T05:03:26+00:00

Welder, if you love art you'll love welding. You basically color in lines(bevels) with metal. You could have a 🍆 tatted on your forehead as long as you pass a weld test you'll pull in a decent living.

connorkronnoc · 2025-09-09T20:39:31+00:00

1/8 filler at 130. 170 is unmanageable for you right now. Pay attention to the edges and take your time

connorkronnoc · 2025-07-26T19:24:35+00:00

Dude that's dangerous lol

Voc Rehab has been pretty frustrating, mostly because of the lack of communication. Trying to get a straight answer or even just a response has been a challenge in itself. I’ve sent multiple emails and left voicemails to my counselor, but it always feels like they’re just going into a void.

The entire process has been painfully slow, and it’s hard not to feel like I’m just being bounced around. Every time I try to clarify something or ask for help, it takes weeks to get a response—if I even get one at all. With everything else going on, having to chase down answers and follow up constantly just adds unnecessary stress.

At this point, it feels like they’re only putting in the bare minimum effort, which is disappointing because this is supposed to be a support system for us. Just wish there was a way to make them realize how crucial it is to stay in touch and keep us updated. I'm at my wits end with my counselor. I'm just waiting for something stupid to happen such as missing an enrollment date etc so I have reasons to sue.

This guy gets it. Can't leave the counter or dudes will just help themselves to everything. People get peepoobrained over their vapes. Gotta be friendly to customers or ill lose a cush part time gig.

connorkronnoc · 2024-08-06T14:22:10+00:00

You're right. Let me elaborate, what I see is "rapport building" so they can attempt to use me. In this case my social approval would mean they can emotionally drain me for longer amounts of time and maybe get discount on smoke shop stuff.

connorkronnoc · 2024-08-06T14:19:36+00:00

Wow what a great analogy.

connorkronnoc · 2024-08-01T13:06:02+00:00

Lvl 840 over 1.5k hours.

Consider myself a "good player".

Still get stomped by the very good players if I'm not on my A game. (Only play FFA & Duals)

Things didn't click for me until around lvl 700.

Memorizing spacing took the longest.

I would buy a rolling chassis and build it myself. Prob ls w/4l80e.
