I had planned to work in the UK and then retire and travel the world one year ago.
I got sidetracked with the ensnaring motive to increase my net worth. Now that I have purged my desires to keep increasing net worth, I am going to the UK again, in part due to necessity to finalise my construction and refinancing projects.
While my original intention was to have already begun my travelling adventures, working in the UK is not as bad as I had supposited. In fact, it may turn out to be a blessing in disguise. I have the opportunity to attend to unfinished business, in the name of winning a football championship, which I see as my highest priority, and also to position myself and learn from great minds in the technology sector where I do see myself having involvement with in the future.
I was dreading the prospect of returning to work. While there is no job that I look forward to doing any longer, technology is better out of the lot and can still get me excited. The thought of returning to finance and running spreadsheets is demoralising.
I have to know my objective for working in the UK. I want to work for 6 months or so and then travel. I don't need to work to sustain my lifestyle as I have income from my investments, although I will still need to find a job to finance my projects. I believe I have a contribution to make and I have previous founding experience. I am interested about recruitment startups and I enjoy keeping active in retirement. However, at the same time, I know how time intensive startups are so I am not interested on taking a founding role, and would rather provide guidance.
Coupled with the fact that I will outsource parts of my relationship life, have a group of friends already living in the UK, and work towards my goal of championship glory, it is looking brighter than the bleak predicament that I had envisaged.
I guess how you view your exact same situation can make profound difference to your perception and interpretation of reality.
After living in the UK for a few months, I realise that it is not for me. I still intend to get this one project out of the way and leave it at that, but it's proving much tougher than I thought. This project is taking time. At the same time, I am only getting older. There is no turning back time. I am not getting the girls I am after. I cannot keep chasing the money.
