I am Ponta Taro.

💪 Ponta Taro is this kind of person
I was originally a technical employee, but I studied investment aiming for FIRE and repeated the practice. I started from a state where I couldn't even read financial statements, but now I hold over 100 stocks.
It sounds good to say I live on dividends and shareholder perks, but in reality, I am an "unemployed person supported by corporations."
"FIRE might not be freedom, but rather a person who has lost their connection to society, just prolonging their life with an IV drip of dividends."
I wear the mask of an investor only during trading hours, pretending to be "in dialogue with the market." But when the market closes, I am just an idle person. I try to maintain my "humanity" by sweating at the gym, relaxing in the sauna, walking in the park, and reading at bookstores.
The freedom gained through FIRE is also "time when one's true nature is laid bare." Laziness, impatience, loneliness, and a sense of meaninglessness. All of these are tougher enemies than the market.
That is why I write about investment and my free daily life, adding a touch of poison and philosophy.
"Freedom is a state where no one gets angry at you, but no one helps you either." I tell myself this as I go on.
