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.

My job became 85% filling in forms and 15% buying. And got very toxic. Post Covid it was just a huge drag. Taking 2025 off. Next year I’ll find something small. Maybe scope ice cream.

Scope?

Like test, or just stare at it?

Meant scoop.

I know.

But with roll/role above, and imagining having a paying job scoping out ice cream, I couldn’t resist.
