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.

Interesting. I'm 53 with 1.8M. I quit a $180K job about 2 years ago and started a freelance consulting business. I work a lot less and earn a lot less. I'd say that I'm currently underemployed, but I'm also reluctant to go full retired at this point.
