    Default Freedom?

    Since yesterday, I am officially unemployed.
    I have been working since the age of 17 in the IT industry, first as a sysadmin and then as a programmer (C# and Java). Having secured a passive income (real property for rent plus a deposit account), I realized that I no longer could nor want to connect my life with computers, since this is fraught with depression and schizophrenia in the future. Besides, the low threshold for entering the profession of a programmer now and the direction of IT evolution in general gradually reduces its authority and prestige. In addition, life is too short to work most of it. The USSR, where it was honorable, no longer exists. I have parents, a little son and a wife, now I can give them enough time.
    Is there anyone else in this situation like me? What psychological problems await me? After how much time will I drink myself to death, or vice versa, will I become free from shackles?

    So that the CV does not decay, and the brains do not rust, I will have to try to help in developing some open-source application.
    Always wanted, but it was not possible.

    Are there any rentiers or other parasites among the posters?

    I will ask not to compare the Crimea with similar places. People from all over the CIS (and from parts of Europe) traveled to Kazantip for cultured degrading.
    Can Ghana afford such a thing?

    My goal is/was somewhat different. First part of it was to made a modern house, so I can harvest enough of electrical energy myself and install my own heating devices, thus denying government of paying larger taxes. This is near completion, in addition its in a nice neighborhood, close to the downtown area. So my next goal will be to start my own company with a couple of friends and if everything goes well I will completely devote my time in my own stock and financial market trading.

    I completely agree with you regarding jobs in IT industry. I've been in programming for quite long period (won't say how long, and what technologies I used) and standards dropped quite a bit. Today its a bit more paid, physically less demanding blue collar job.

    Do you and your friends are good at stock trading? Do you have access to insider information?
    I once dreamed about it (after watching Hollywood films), but I quickly realized that it was pointless without useful contacts in this field. There was a period when half of Russia dreamed of sitting at home, pressing buttons and “downloading money” from the Internet. Many then lost money, because "the casino always wins," and you need to become part of this casino yourself in order to make money on this business.

    I was into this field (and a bit more broadly speaking in economics) since age 15, so I know a lot of inner workings. In fact, the only reason why I choose not to follow that academic path is because jobs in that industry are miserably paid (still are) in my country, and I didn't though to emigrate. I can say I was lucky I had very solid mathematical and generally technical education so I could choose between different careers, as well as someone to help/give me advice when I was in dilemma. Useful contacts are useful naturally, but it does not necessarily determine good stock trading.

    Very good. The main thing is to have a working plan. I wish you and your friends success in obtaining autonomy from the "labor market".
