Hi all,
I've been reading this thread from front to back & wow now i feel a bit intimidated.. Perhaps unsure if i will managed to pull this sooner. Worst come to worst im going to quit my job by 40 or get fired, whichever comes first.

I have been toying with this idea for the past 5 years after experiencing some unfortunate things in my job that makes everything seems so bleak now...

Since last 2 years ive been diligently investing about 65% of take home pay & looking forward to max my asb 2 capital by end of 2020. asb1 has been full a few years back, now piling all the dividends. My risk appetite in investing is very conservative, no extra props except current house which im staying. Besides i prefer liquid cash. Monthly fixed expenses incl mortgage, phone/internet bills & insurance about 2300 currently.

The asx dividends barely breakeven now for my expenses, just hoping asx will continue to give total 12% combined if i want to have the 'dont give a fck' mindset & do bare minimum at work.

Alas, if i dont care about all the things i would quit long time ago! But keep telling myself this is the best job i can get atm, and i cant be bothered to work under people again. I rather use my own time to make something more meaningful to myself, volunteering at animal shelter/thrift stores & upcycling waste.
Please share some motivation so that i dont do anything stupid in the meantime. Thank you.

OK, here goes nothing...my answer in bold
