I love to interact with people, to have conversations and to be part of a group. Job colleagues, friends and family all contributes to different kinds of exciting experiences.
I love my job even though it is no walk on roses, having to wake up early, having a boss dictating what to do, being exhausted at the end of the day and so forth. The alternative however does not make me happier! I tried living without a job during 2 years and all I ended up doing was watching marathons of Star Trek, become deeply bored and depressed.
I love to run my own little business on the side during evening and weekends and it is my wish to improve this enterprise. I am an entrepreneurial spirit, no doubt about that but it is more as a hobby.
I love to live a minimalist life, I strive to have as little stuff as possible. I like my possessions to add to the quality of life rather than to add quantity to my life. I am happier not owning big collections. As an example my entire wardrobe consists of 3 T-shirts, 2 Khaki pants, 1 belt, 7 pairs of underwear and socks, 1 sports coat, 1 dress shirt, 1 pair of dress pants and 1 tie(for the festive occasions), 1 pair of shoes, 1 spring/autumn coat, 1 winter coat and 1 winter knit cap.
I love traveling but it has to be for a longer period of time to make it worthwhile in my opinion. Of course one can do some sightseeing and have a taste of the local cuisine during a short trip but to truly experience the difference in culture and grasp how people are living and thinking differently compared to oneself. One has to stay for a considerable longer period of time. I always gain new insights about myself and my values during a trip abroad.
I love to become financially independent by accumulating enough wealth generating assets to live off the interest. I am currently investing roughly 50% of my salary each month and expect to reach the state of financial independence in 8 to 12 years between the age of 39 and 43.
I have no idea what to do with all the accumulated wealth, I got fantasies of running an Internet business while traveling but I am not sure if my fantasies and my personality that thrives in human company will clash. I imagine traveling to be quite solitary.
