Life guidance

[yorkshireman92]

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for some advice on what you would do in my situation. I am a 29 years old and from the UK.

About me. I have not worked in the corporate world for over 6 years and have been making a good living from matched betting. However, the lucrative days in this field are pretty much gone. The only job I have ever had was as a logistics planner, which I did for 5 years. My only education is high school, I left college early to get work.

I spent most of my spare time in the gym training MMA and just recently have been competing in the pro ranks. My dreams were to make a good run in this sport and have a good career, unfortunately I have been set back with quite a serious injury (herniated disc in my neck).

Right now I am a bit lost, not sure where to go and what to do. I do not think I could handle a corporate job anymore with all this covid nonsense on top of the PC cancer culture. I have just been coaching and doing privates but the income from this isn't too substantial. I have a decent amount of savings, over £150k, but unsure where to focus my time and energy.

Any advice on where you personally would go if you were in a similar situation would be great.

Three+ years, four posts. All the same, you're an mma fighter, some kind of trader, have lots of money, need advice.
Wish you nothing but the best but it's just odd.

Mma was dead ten years ago. Pro fighters make next to nothing. Ufc undercard doesnt pay enough to cover medical bills from an injury. If you want to own a martial arts gym, those will always be around. Tip: children are where the money is. They are little so you can fit twice as many on the mat, and usually the parents will actually pay. Young adult fighters are always broke and hard to get money from.

If you want to make money fighting, boxers get paid a lot more, especially if you fight jake paul on a secret contract that says you dont get paid if you knock him out.
