I'm currently working in Marketing Department with a salary of MYR3-4.5K (USD650-1030) per month. Although I do learn a thing or two when it comes to digital marketing, I hated the entire corporate culture -- from traffic jams, being stuck in a cubicle for 50 hours a week and being told what to do by some fat dude in the office.
I'm now planning to "build a rocket ship" for my escape. Here are my escape plans as followed:
- Save enough money from my job (6 months of expenses)
- Relocate a portion of money as investment funds and learn to trade
Since stacking as much bread as I can is the main priority, Ive go through some extreme measures - eating one meal a day, stop eating out and even not subscribing to the gym anymore. However I was quite concerned about the gym part. I feel like the gym would actually give me nett positive in the long run (better health, good physique, clarity) but if I subscribed to the gym monthly (the gym I'm going is subscription based) that means a portion of my salary will be used for the gym's monthly subscription and thus, slower the process of me getting out of my 9-5.
My brothers, if saving money to escape your job is your main priority. Would you sacrifice your fitness to achieve that goal? Or you think that fitness is the core of everything? I would like to hear your suggestions, appreciate that!
