>>13547200Honestly congratulations on your government funded brand-new start, that sounds amazing.
I'm sorry about your wife, but look on the bright side:
Probably a solid 60% of married dudes I know are miserable within the arrangement after 4-5 years.
Put your $45k per year toward a mortgage on a home in a decent neighborhood and a decent automobile with those great government interest rates, and then figure out what you love to do and just do it.
Immerse yourself in it and become an impassioned authority on the subject.
Eventually you can turn your passion into a business. You do this by borrowing money.
Credit facility for businesses is at an all-time high and is extremely cheap as a result.
Because you have your two major financial hurdles covered (house and car) you can kiss the note (assume personal liability) on whatever loan you take out, and it won't be a disaster if you default and wreck your credit.
Someone with guaranteed state income, no dependents, and nothing to lose is a nightmare for the credit Jew, because no matter what, they can't take your house (homestead exemption).
Take advantage.
The main thing is be productive, whatever that means to you.
Don't fall into the trap of wasting away in the comfort of your gibs. Life is a gift. Give back to it.
