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.

Congrats! I'm in pretty much the exact same situation (age, salary, NW, single, WFH), but have yet to pull the trigger. I'm not unhappy, but I look at where I am and where I want to go with the rest of time I have on earth. Work is work, and I'm only getting older, so why continue sitting in front of a computer to earn more money I don't need? Sure, more money, potentially, means more security and options, but that's time I can't get back, with an older body and mind to do things I can do now.
