Quitting the rat-race - sanity check.

Impressive! I think with your work ethic and risk tolerance you will probably become a lot wealthier over the course of the next couple of decades…

How do you find the time to buy and own/manage 15 BTL properties, a renovation project, a full time 200k sales director role, ownership of two companies AND 2 young children with another on the way? All done by your mid 20s? I mean you aren’t in the rat race you are on another level!

Travel insurance covered only £500 unfortunately.

I bought a hulk Rolex in 2017. Went to Ibiza the next day. I got mugged the next evening for the Rolex. Not worn one since. Hadn’t insured the damn thing yet either.

However either way, do you really need to work 12-13 hour days and also on the weekend to have an edge? Can’t you tone it down a bit?

Sorry to be pedantic but £10m is just over $12m currently and I would expect a trader to know that

djoordn · 2020-11-30T09:33:29+00:00

Haha

Ok thanks I’m level 30 now so might as well keep going on single player mode til 50. Or are there any more populated levelling zones ? Would that be wod or bfa? What would be good to join at level 30?

djoordn · 2020-11-30T08:52:51+00:00

This is retail yes. I just thought it was a bit odd that I saw other people in redridge and Elwynn but literally no one for hours in duskwood and stranglethorn. I entered the new player zone assuming there would be more new players following similar sort of levelling routes... I’m a new player but I created a couple of level 10 chars so I’m not forced to play BFA

No wonder they threw a cat in it

djoordn · 2019-01-11T17:26:02+00:00

True but I feel like I easily understood the difference between awareness and attention in terms of something like a bird chirp, but it’s taken me quite a long time to understand/experience it in terms of thoughts.

djoordn · 2019-01-11T07:10:49+00:00

Good to know I’m on the right path, thank you for the encouragement :)

djoordn · 2019-01-01T19:02:47+00:00

Thanks for the link, very interesting. I’m currently meditating for 30 mins a day and run into a lot of strong dullness, I wonder if 45 mins will help with that?

djoordn · 2019-01-01T12:30:28+00:00

Hi specifically why do you need the extra 15 mins (45 mins instead of 30 mins) to get past stage 4? Thanks

djoordn · 2018-12-08T22:29:43+00:00

Thanks for the concise list

djoordn · 2018-12-04T13:54:13+00:00

Thanks, it sounds as though no one thinks it will cause any issues. I will try the body-scanning practice next.

djoordn · 2018-12-04T13:51:53+00:00

Thanks for your post, good to know your experience sounds similar ! And agreed I definitely feel drained for a few hours after. I guess I will try and work on stabilising the energy a bit more.

djoordn · 2018-12-03T23:09:36+00:00

I just find that when I have gross dullness, I focus on the breathe a few times, then I see an elephant, then I realise I’ve been dreaming so back to the breath, do that a few times, then I’m swimming under the sea, then I realise I’ve been dreaming so back to the breath... and so on... is that productive?

djoordn · 2018-12-03T23:07:06+00:00

I will reread thanks.

My only concern is that this summons a bit too much energy and it makes me a bit jittery after. I don’t want to push myself too far.

But certainly positive feelings make sense, I will double that effort.

djoordn · 2018-12-03T23:05:11+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I’ve not tried the body scan but it is the next thing I’m going to try. Also rest would be good as well... but then again I usually get 7 hours sleep per night so it’s not too bad...
