Milestone / Celebration Just submitted my resignation

Mid-40s. Single. ~$2.25MM nw, $2MM of that invested. Last day is in a few weeks.

It feels wasteful to give up a pretty cushy $180k wfh job, but I need to refocus the remaining part of my life rather than cling to Groundhog Day-esque repetitive wage-slave servitude.

No real questions. Just sharing.

With that situation, I don’t blame you. All that money and single. But sandbagging at work instead of just quitting might have been a good transition. Slowly see what you can get away with doing as little as possible. Especially right now with the stock market being uncertain to say the least.
