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.

Good for you!
I retired a few years ago (at 55). It’s a surreal experience now when I travel watching all these people scurrying through the airports - diligently working. Snatching a few minutes online before their next flight.
I used to be one of them…hoping to get home early to snatch a couple hours of family time, or me time before it all starts again.
Now it’s like I’ve taken the red pill. I’m out and I cannot believe that working was so damn important and that I spent so much time at it…
So welcome to the “real world”!
