The Reason I, a Language School Graduate, Could Become the Person Who Determines My Own Income by My 50s

Hello, I’m Neko-kai from AI Trade Idea Lab.

The other day, while casually watching YouTube, a video of Gackt popped up.

The theme is this.

Why do successful CEOs not quit their jobs?

An interesting question, isn’t it?

Normally one might think,

“If you already have enough money, why not retire?”

But he said something different.

After gaining various experiences,
achieving the things you want,
and doing most of what you want to do,

there is no longer any刺激.

What remains at the end is the most exciting thing called work.

I thought, that makes sense.

No matter what you do, you eventually get bored

I kind understand this.

Luxury cars, watches, travel, games, and movies.

I’ve tried most ideas that come to mind.

And how did it go?

To be honest,

everything gets boring.

Humans adapt, you know.

At first there is excitement.

But it becomes part of daily life.

Then you start looking for the next thing.

New刺激.
New money-making stories.
New opportunities.

But the way of life that keeps pursuing these things,

doesn’t it wear you out somewhere?

Is it okay to spend a life chasing the next money-making story even at 70?

This is something I’ve thought about for a long time.

If,

even in your 50s
even in your 60s
even in your 70s

you keep asking, “Is there a good story somewhere?”

and continue to search for it.

Then that seems to be,

freedom with a hidden constraint.

That’s why I think this:

you should decide your own axis by the age of 50.

Narrowing down to one thing makes life quietly stronger

People,

seem to be able to do many things well at once,

but actually they’re not that skilled.

I want to do side jobs too.
I want to invest.
I want to grow on SNS.
I want to use AI.

If you do everything, your brain scatters.

Concentration dies.

As a result, nothing accumulates.

This really happens.

So, focus on one thing.

That is strong.

I narrowed it down to FX

Why FX?

The reason is,

because it has reproducibility.

This is quite important.

It isn’t about hitting it big once,

but whether you can reproduce it over and over again.

That’s what matters.

FX is surprisingly a “quiet job”

In society,

FX has a flashy image, right?

But the essence is quite the opposite.

It’s rather very quiet.

・Wait
・Decide
・Do
・Finish

That’s all.

Moreover,

it doesn’t require a specific location.
It doesn’t require fixed times.
It doesn’t require a lot of capital.

You can start with 10,000 yen.

Even someone from a low-tier university can do it.

Young or old, you can do it.

It hardly requires physical strength.

These conditions,

when looked at calmly, are quite strong.

And now there is AI

This is what’s different from the past.

Now,

you don’t have to study a lot.

At least,

it’s not an era where you win by knowledge alone as before.

Because there is AI.

What I use is “AI Synchrony Trade”

What I’m doing is simple.

AI comes up with a strategy.

I align with that strategy.

I imitate it.

That’s it.

When you hear the name, it might sound difficult, but

what I’m doing is quite simple.

Of course, it isn’t effort-free.

About 1% is necessary (laughs).

But

it’s much lighter than starting from scratch in the food service or retail industry.

“Every day is payday” isn’t an exaggeration

I sometimes say

“Every day feels like payday.”

And this is not a metaphor but a perception.

As a company employee,

you get paid once a month, right?

But when you have your own earnings mechanism,

your view of money changes.

You shift from receiving to creating.

That difference is huge.

In the end, life might be about what you discard

Recently I’ve been thinking

that success

is not about adding things,

but about discarding things.

Perhaps.

Unnecessary money-making stories.

Unnecessary comparisons.

Unnecessary temptations.

By trimming those,

and focusing on one thing,

the hesitation disappears.

Those who have doubts should keep one thing

If right now you

・don’t know what suits you
・are curious about side jobs and investments
・but lack a core axis

If you feel that way,

it might be good to think, “What can I continue after turning 50?”

for a moment.

For me,

that was FX.

Finally

Even if you come from a low-tier university,

even if you don’t have special talents,

you can become someone who decides their own income in the later half of life.

That’s what I think.

What’s needed is not flashy success, but

a reproducible system.

And,

don’t waver.

If this article gave you something to think about, I’d be glad.

If you found it at least a little enlightening, please like it and tell me what you think.
