Probably the conventional way. Work for a good paying company and keep doing it for a few years. Spend very little. Move up or to a different company when you can. This is the safest way probably. I don't work in tech anymore though and make a meager living as a woodworker, so what do I know.
- korisnicko_ime 8y agoGot fed up and quit, or just retired? Woodworking sounds like a perfect thing to do after retiring.
- sinker 8y agoQuit, I'm still under 30 years old. I was a decent programmer but never a good employee. After running the cycle of finding a job, saving up for a year, quitting, running out of money, I ended up quitting for good. Woodworking is something I don't recommend anyone try to make a living off cold. It gets expensive quick. Woodwork isn't particularly valuable as a skill and almost anything you make can be mass produced. You'll end up needing more space than you have. You also can't get completely away from the computer either as you'll need to market the things you create. For anyone even thinking about quitting their job and trying it full time I would recommend having 100k in savings first.
