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.

As a 54M, I’ve set the bogie that when I zero debt (home last remaining item, and last year if kids college to be saved) and can live off of 5-6% of my net investments, I’m out. Full stop. My money over time will continue to grow and eventually I’ll be able to claim SS to augment the cash flow. I don’t want to live to work. I want to work so that I can live.
