Get fully involved, put your entire paycheck into snowballing dividend investments, and live off margin until divs outpace spending over a decade or so. After a decade or two, you'll have enough cash flow to retire early. This is way better than working 30-40 years
But yeah you missed the easy no responsibility train

Idk what any of this means.
If it matters, I'm 26 and have over $50K in a HYS.
I have plenty of money to fuck around in SEA or LATAM, or even Eastern Europe for a while, but the problem is I have no TIME or a plan for wtf comes after

Keep maybe 20k in your savings
Put the rest in index based dividend funds so you're not trying to pick single stocks
Then have your direct deposit go straight to the stock account, invest 100% of your paycheck
Then apply for margin (below 6% rate is good for now) and borrow out whatever you need to live on using that margin
Your dividend income will eventually (over a decade, generally) outpace your margin interest and you will be able to live at that same income forever, or keep working as long as you can stand it to increase income faster
Getting a job that involves travel also helps, but you'll still have a lot of responsibilities if you do that, it won't be vacation just a change of scenery

Ask your manager if you can take a sabbatical?
Where I work we automatically earn a three month (unpaid) sabbatical every three years. To be taken whenever we want.
But I know people can negotiate to take one earlier than the three years if they ask. Even if your job doesn't usually do sabbaticals you might be surprised.

>All I want to do is travel non-stop for a few months like a normal person but I can't
It's a lot more common now than it was 20-30 years ago but I don't know if it's 'normal'.

I was exaggerating, but all I mean is I want the experience of a real long term travel instead of these week long vacations that boomers do

I work full time at a university and PTO accumulates along with "personal" PTO which is for mental health. I just save all my hours for travels and don't ever get sick. I traveled to places I would never have dreamed of. I also take short 3 day weekend trips (Martin Luther King day, presidents day) to new cities for fun.

Hey some of us did travel during those times but spent that time walking around and "exploring" rather than dating and shit because we were too autistic or whatever the fucking problem was.
Now we're old and look back in that time as "god what was I thinking" because dealing with women only gets worse as age advances.

you must be european or something.
that shit doesn't exist in north america, you are pretty much a slave to your job.

Don't listen to this. Buy Bitcoin, it's far from it's ATH now. You can almost buy a whole one.
