I'm currently working in Marketing Department with a salary of MYR3-4.5K (USD650-1030) per month. Although I do learn a thing or two when it comes to digital marketing, I hated the entire corporate culture -- from traffic jams, being stuck in a cubicle for 50 hours a week and being told what to do by some fat dude in the office. I'm now planning to "build a rocket ship" for my escape. Here are my escape plans as followed: 1. Save enough money from my job (6 months of expenses) 2. Relocate a portion of money as investment funds and learn to trade Since stacking as much bread as I can is the main priority, Ive go through some extreme measures - eating one meal a day, stop eating out and even not subscribing to the gym anymore. However I was quite concerned about the gym part. I feel like the gym would actually give me nett positive in the long run (better health, good physique, clarity) but if I subscribed to the gym monthly (the gym I'm going is subscription based) that means a portion of my salary will be used for the gym's monthly subscription and thus, slower the process of me getting out of my 9-5. My brothers, if saving money to escape your job is your main priority. Would you sacrifice your fitness to achieve that goal? Or you think that fitness is the core of everything? I would like to hear your suggestions, appreciate that!

I'm 30 y/o now. Graduated from Masters and now working in Marketing for a corporate office. I'm currently single. Although I still have not achieve anything significant in my age nor having my life "sorted out" (wife, kids, house mortgage etc). But in my 30s I feel wayyyyy alive than being in my 20s. For the past decades I'm lost, confused and worried. Now I had a clear goal, I don't have any financial setbacks or huge responsibilities and I feel like I could pull off my Male Advantage by my 40s. I've always been that good obedient boy throughout my life. I listened to my parents, I listened to the teachers. They told me to focus only in my studies, by the time I scored Full A's, entered University and graduate. Girls will "queue up trying to date me" (yes, one of my auntie actually tell me that). After following all their rules, playing the game safe and tick all of the boxes. I realized that everything they've told me is a lie.. a big fat lie. Girls wouldn't wanna date you just because you got a University degree, the dickhead brat, who skipped school and smoked in the schools toilet? He's now a successful boss, married a beautiful women and have a great family while the "good boys" who play by the rules? They graduated, working a shit job with low pay, women does not find them attractive and now they're being ridiculed and mocked for being single and desperate. Not gonna lie, I'm still a "V" in my 30s, and what does the people who told me to "study first, date later" react now? They laughed at me. Telling me that I could perhaps "date older women" or even single mums! Some of my elders even tell me to lower my expectation and date ugly girls instead. "Beautiful women wants to climb the social ladder, you don't deserve those! Just get an ugly chick and settle down!" If it's not discovering self improvement, I would never be able to see things as what it is, I would probably still feeling bitter, resentful and hateful for the rest of my life. Luckily I found the Male Advantage by Kris. it don't have to be choosing between old and ugly women. Right now I rather worked hard for the coming 10 years, build the career, stay fit. By then when I'm the boss I get to choose the beautiful, young ones.

Everytime I passed by a pub during Friday nights, they're always packed with people. I can't help but feel a little sad inside it feels as if other than drinking their lives into oblivion, there's nothing else to look forward into. If your are truly happy and fulfilled with your life, what do you even want to numb yourself? I feel like "Friday night" is a big cope sold to the poor souls who wanted to numb themselves, especially the crippling dreadfulness of Sunday nights knowing that you're going back to the same commute, the same cubicle doing the same things the next day, and you'll do it AGAIN AND AGAIN! Sometimes I wondered if it would be happier for me if I don't have such awareness, and maybe going out drinking with my friends every Friday and deem it as "normal life" would be better. That's why they said, ignorance is bliss, and the more you know, the harder it is for you to be happy. The only way out is to build the rocket ship during my sentence in a 9-5, and get out of it asap whatever it takes.
