I disagree with the part "hey that's life"...

Let me tell you why.

How old are you? If you are under 40, you are still so young. There are so many opportunities online it is sickening. There are so many new avenues cropping up, and niches are literally everywhere.

Don't just settle for a position in the rat race, my man. Those are a dime a dozen. Take risks and do what you must.

I understand you may have a family, but you can still make time. It is just down to you on how you spend it.

Source: Failed school, dropped out at 16. Travelled the world, made $110K a year salary before I was 20. I am British, worked in South-East Asia for a year by the time I was 19, and I am now in the States building my new venture for myself (Forex currency trading).

Good luck!

Yea I feel you, I'm only 19 I live in Hawaii. I recently moved islands. Use to live on the Big Island now I'm on Kauai.
I'd say that was a pretty big step forward for me as I was 18 at the time.
I'm not really complaining about my job, I make really good money for it and I have a place to stay rent free just a few second walk from my job and I'm super grateful for it.
I just don't like the whole idea of "work until you die".

Mine is trying new things. I have never been a fan of doing things I'm not comfortable doing.
