I’m a poorly paid low-level office worker, but I excel at personal finance and investing is a love and a passion for me. I wake up every morning excited to see how the stock market is doing. I save about 30% of my income, but investment returns are doing the heavy lifting for me.
I hate my job, mostly because of 2 toxic people who hold positions of power over me. The work is also boring, repetitive, and takes up far too much of my time. I hate being confined in a small space with other people and all of their annoying behaviors. I’m trying to stay employed for at least a few more years while I build up my nest egg.
I have always disliked being a member of the workforce, mostly due to finding it so draining, on every possible level, to have to spend so much time in the company of others who are not of my choosing. Early retirement is the solution I’ve found. I just wish I’d figured it out sooner. I got serious about achieving early retirement in late 2014. I started saving for retirement around 2004, but hadn’t yet learned much about investing at that time.
I love this site. I feel like I’ve found my own kind.
Are there any other INFJ’s here?
