Wow, powerful.

I really liked the many, many adolescent scenes.

Poor guy.

Also I really thought it would end where he retires, then starts watering his plants, then just after finally retiring...
I am a former teacher who accumulated a bunch of real estate, retired at 29, spent some time traveling the world full time and am now settled with three kids.
If you want to know more about me, this Business Insider profile tells the story pretty well.
I (rarely) blog at AdventuringAlong.com. Check out the Now page to see what I'm up to currently.

I forwarded the clip to my mother, who hunkered down in a bureaucratic government job and retired 5 years early. Near the end it was a struggle just to show up, she was so burned out. But now she composes music and volunteers. She totally "gets it".

What's poignant about the video is - people really do LIVE like this, and feel trapped by the system.

Wow. Pretty bleak, but powerful motivation indeed.

Thanks for sharing.
