I have made up my mind. I will submit my resignation letter next week. My last day will likely be 11 September, instead of 23 February next year.
Why did I change my mind yet again? Here's the reasons.
1) I can't do work properly anymore. I can't stop thinking about trading. It's just not going to work for another 6 months. Also, I just totally don't enjoy the work at all. It's so serious that it makes me lose sleep. This absolutely isn't what life is about.
2) I can make a lot more money if I concentrate on trading compared to 6 more months of salary. I'm confident that I can make 10k+ a month for the next few months due to the state of the economy. I already made 10k just this week alone, so that's not far-fetched at all. If I tell that to me from a year ago he would think I'm crazy, but... it is what it is.
3) I want to be able to tell people that I retired at 30 instead of 31. It sounds so much cooler. 
4) Hajimari no kiseki is likely arriving in the first week of September. What is life if you can't do the things you want to do, when you want to do them?
And so, a year after my one-third-life crisis started, I finally found the answer.
I will likely never have to work for money for the rest of my life. If I work, it will be out of passion. I can see myself working to help environmental causes, but I can't see that happening in the near future.
Turns out I'm pretty special after all. I simply don't, or rather can't, follow the same rules as everyone else. Been this way my entire life I think. I like that about me.
I will like to think that I got here by myself, but that will be false. I actually received inspiration from my friends. Amazing how connections from the distant past could change my future so drastically. However, I will take the credit for being willing and quick to try out something new and turn my life around with it.
And so, I will like to do the same for all my friends too. Help everyone closely connected to me attain an easier life. That's one of my life missions now. I have already gotten quite a few of my friends to start investing, and are giving them plenty of advice. There are several friends who aren't interested in making their lives better, which surprised me, but I think that's just the way people are - resistant to change. And that's okay, I lose nothing.
I will be proceeding with my retirement plans as early as next week. I feel so excited about it that I can't sleep. Hence writing this blog entry at 4 am.
God, has life ever been this exciting? Can't remember when was the last time I felt like this.
Thank you, life, for being great. 😌
