I’m curious on how you plan to retire at 50. Doing that where I live means you basically get no pension so you’d have to have saved up enough to live the rest of your life during those 27 years, so a bit over half your income would need to go into a savings account.
Look up “FIRE” for “financial independence, retire early.”
tl;dr - save a larger chunk of your salary and invest it become part of the owner class, living off the interest, dividends, and capital gains surplus value generated by the working class.
36 years as a walking corpse that society no longer wants, outside your grandkids. So you have to perpetuate the cycle to feel anything. Oh, and some beautiful landscape and nice things you can buy, again, while you rot away, and no one cares what you have at all, no one to share with.
I was free from 0-6.
I am going to study from 6-27, roughly, though also working in the meantime. Let’s call that 20 years.
I intend to work from 23-50, at most. Hopefully less. That’s 27 years.
There’s some overlap.
Let’s say I die at 80 (I’m almost 25). A slightly early death, on average.
That’s 36 free years. 27 years of work. 20 years of study.
36 free years VS 44 work/study years
Methinks possible. Methinks not so bad?

I’m saving a bit more than half my income, and I’m investing it rather than putting it in a savings account, but yeah that’s it, you got it!

What are you talking about? Grandkids at 50?
Do you have to work or study to feel anything? What cycle are you talking about?
I’m confused.
