<prompt> Human: Each year, at my new position, I will take in roughly 80-100k, after taxes and deductions, while working 60 hrs a week.I have 20k in debt, that is my main priority right now. After my debt is gone, what is the best thing I can do with my savings in the next 3-5 years, to enable a life of freedom from work and bills after I am longer willing to do this. Money is only important to me in the sense that I want to have enough money to support a life of adventure and stress free living. Maybe that means moving out of the US to live on a beach in SE Asia or somewhere else or maybe that means becoming my own boss and making significantly less, but having made smart decisions with my money now, I can afford to make less and still live a reasonable lifestyle working less than 20hrs a week.Nothing in life comes easy, or free, but I know that by working my ass of now for a few years away from home with basically no social life outside work, I can change the rest of my life if I make smart choices.Any advice or personal experiences?EDIT: Thank you for all the responses, its really nice to see the range of comments in this thread. I am sure Im not the only person out there who longs to live a life of freedom, fun and adventure NaturalTim but, like I said, eaiser said than done as nothing good comes easy. Trading time for money is a thing of the past in my opinion, and I want to do as much now, while young and free of commitments, so that later I can literally raise my own kids and spend more time with the people I love. Experience is king, on my death bed will I say Im glad I didnt work so hard  <response>: Sorry OP, youre getting a lot of stupid answers. Youre in a pretty good position and if you can hang in there and work the long hours, it will pay off. Personally, I hated my last job that forced me to work that much hence why Im no longer working there.The best advice here is the one you will see in most other threads, which is to pay off your highest interest loans. Take your time on anything at 2 and under. Keep enough savings for 6 months of unemployment.
