like without doing something to significantly increase my earning potential way above the average developer salary in this area, i basically either have to work for like another decade to many pay off a house, or decide to call it and try another tactic. while my current situation is very stable, it doesn't really feel that sustainable or ideal long-term, i feel like i've hit a local maxima. i'm already one foot on the path to try a new tactic by launching a business, but unless i basically win the lottery by executing properly and that actually starts printing, i'm not sure that just grinding W2s forever like my parents will actually work. given that i have some stable and gainful employment right now, it feels that whatever path i go down needs to incorporate that at some level at least in the short term. so just quitting my job doesn't seem like the right answer. but just launching side businesses forever until one works doesn't seem like the right answer either
i keep wishing i didn't have to work but i'm also entirely terrified of the monkey paw fulfillment of that of not having a W-2 job <_> i probably just need to take vacation but my schedule is like jam packed through the end of the year. I don't think I have the luxury of being able to be as cavalier about not being able to support myself like most people, if i didn't have regular income, my whole house of cards would fall down so fast
