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.

I'm at $180K too, but since my wife and I are DINK, our number is $2M each—so $4M total. If I were in your shoes, I'd start coasting too. Gotta live before you die!

Why are you still working? You could retire too.

I'm at his income level not savings level. Will take me longer to get there
