You can hear the voice recording for the diary.
昨日の出張の帰り、また盛岡駅で途中下車。今回もリベ友とディナー。今度こそ、焼肉を食べてきた。
On my way home from my business trip, I stopped by Morioka Station, just like last time, to have dinner with my friend from Libe City. This time, we went to a Japanese BBQ restaurant.
リベ友との楽しいごはんで、出張の疲れを癒すことができた。
I enjoyed the meal with her and felt my stress melt away.
2人ということもあって、少し深い話になり、こんなに楽しいリベでも辞めていく人は一定数いるということを知った。そして、同じくらい新しい人が入ってくることも。人の出入りが激しい中で、自分の存在感をアピールしていかなければならないと悟る。
Since it was just the two of us, our conversation went deeper, and I learned that some members had left the Libe City community, which had always been enjoyable. However, an equal number of new people have been joining. Even in Libe City, there’s a high turnover, and I realized that I need to establish a stronger presence.
ここで中途半端にがんばるよりも、稼ぎきってしまった方がいいのではないかと思う。家族がいても、若いうちにFIREできたことこそが盛大なアピールポイントになるはずだと。
I believe that achieving FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) is the best solution to this issue, more so than half-heartedly trying to stand out. Even though I have a family, reaching FIRE would be a significant milestone to showcase my accomplishments.
ここから来年いっぱいにかけて、不景気による株安が予想されている。このチャンスで将来に向けて資産を伸ばすための株式の仕込むのは、将来絶対にターニングポイントになる。昔みたく、本気で貯めてみようかな。
According to some forecasts on YouTube, stock prices may fall due to a potential recession. This could be a turning point for me—whether I can grow my assets by investing during the downturn or not. I should focus on saving money like I did when I was single to prepare for this opportunity.
To be continued.
