Following because I am in the same boat

Beans and rice and current job till you got enough stacks to retire clearly at 62 or whatever age you desire. Remember the 4% rule. If ur already there then ez peazy. Most Americans aren’t.

then a slush fund of about 30k.

roadie to Alaska in mid June, fish ur brains out, then Otc blacktail caribou and black bear August.

point it south for a September of elk, then October is heavy on deer and lopes.. cruise with friend and familyand maybe whatever hunts strike ur fancy through the holidays

then straight away to nzed for 5 months of alpine hunting. Buy a rig, Start south, teanau is a good start, finish in reinga.

when ur all done most of the conceptions you had of shit you need, hunts you want to do, and the direction you want to go forward in life will be radically different, can guarantee it.

my guess is the crap you pare down from will basically pay for your year of fun... the accounts will have grown, the tax man won’t be happy and ur legs and soul will be fit

The simple answer is be an entrepreneur. There is no "job" that will fit your requirements, you have to create the "business" . Read the book "4hr work week" will give you some ideas. If you don't understand what I mean, read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" to learn about passive income.

Passive income is the answer!! Hopefully I am in a position to start building some up in a year or two.

I just ordered "Rich Dad Poor Dad" yesterday to stick in the wife's Valentines Day basket. Hopefully I'm still alive to report back how it went next week

I have friends with consulting gigs similar to what you are looking for. Most but not all are IT related. Either way something to look into esp if you have decent corporate experience

 

[browning2480]

You should look into some other corporate jobs. I know many that will allow remote working and you schedule the time off you need. They are pretty flexible. Places like Apple, Google, and Walmart are a few to consider.

Construction Management is something to consider if you have any knowledge of the building trade.
I retired at 41 from a successful construction business that I owned. Building custom homes and light commercial work such as banks, clinics, supermarkets, schools and the list goes on. As a 5th generation rancher I wanted to ranch from the get go but the family operation wasn't large enough for 2 families to make a living. So I struck out on my own.
In time I added more land to our ranch holdings with the plan to retire from construction at 40 and ranch. However the last project was a school that took 14 months to complete, so I did it at 41.
That plan worked for me. For the past 20 years I have operate our cattle ranch and I do some construction management projects when they fit into my schedule. And I hunt a lot.

Start a hunting website

How attached are you to "decent money"?
I'm serious, how much do you need to live the life you're dreaming about?

 

[Where's Bruce?]

Have you always been a Democrat or are you just trying it on for size?

 

[BRTreedogs]

I'm doing my very best to get turned around on the American concept of always up grading. Trying to make what I have last.
And grab every penny of OT I can and pay my house off, 50 is the plan.
Then I'll work whatever is in season, most likely CDL driving type stuff, once Sept 1 rolls around it'll be see ya next yr.

Step 1.) Buy never split the difference by Chris Voss-Read it 10 times.

2.) Use those skills to arrange a remote working situation with your current position (ticks boxes 1, 2, 3)

3.) Buy The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferris-Read it 10 times.

4.) Implement those techniques (ticks box 4).

You sound like a millennial

I almost agree with that. Except he said that he's worked since college. ;-)

A lot of human resource jobs are telework. Might not be able start at the top of entry level recruiters can earn up to 6 figures starting depending on the company.

Sometimes they are commission based.

Stock trading is something to think about. Challenging, steep learning curve, risky, but can be done from anywhere with internet. There can be days you want to cry and a week later you have double what you started with. Success depends mostly on yourself. If you have the initial investment, a good amount of discipline, reliable intuition, ability to learn, and decent critical thinking skills there is a lot of opportunity.

I suggest a slow start. I traded my first stock last March and quit my Real Job at the end of September, making the same amount of money or more per month. I probably should have worked another few months but wanted my fall open for hunting opportunities.

1a) Be debt free including your house
1b) Have an emergency fund of 6 months saved up
2) Live a minimalist lifestyle
3) Figure out what you have a passion for in life
For jobs:
4a) Start a business coaching, mentoring, teaching people how to be successful at your passion
4b) real estate investing and have a portfolio that cash flows
4c) start a podcast about something your passionate about, build a following and either get sponsors or do something like patreon
4d) If you've spent significant time in the corporate world, depending on your skills, can you work as a consultant for other companies throughout the year on an as needed basis?

Being completely debt free, living off a budget and having a minimalist life style, I think people would be surprised how little they would need to live off of which opens up tons of opportunity from a job perspective. The most important thing on the above is making enough money to pay your bills while still putting enough away to have a healthy, secure retirement. Many of the books mentioned above are solid books: Rich Dad, Poor Dad, The Five Hour Workweek, Never Split The Difference. I'll add in Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink, just a big fan of this book is all.

Interesting, can you elaborate on this a little bit?

Would help to know what your background is in and what sort of degree you have.

Consulting is a good option. Plenty of flexibility and great pay, but you do have to hustle. Like someone said above, starting your own business is a solid option if you have the attitude and aptitude.

 

[Akwoodchuck]

Whatever it is, create something, build something, leave this world with your mark on it...don't just push around paper or money in some bullshit job because you want to finance "experiences"...my words of wisdom..

Second the property appraisal or IAAO related.
