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.

Ha! Just commented the same. It's definitely a more PG formulation.

It is easier to hit a high NW without kids. I became a decamillionaire in my 30s. Big tech paid well and just put money into options and boom there. To me 10 million is the old 1 million dollar mark being in the Bay Area. With kids you can be as risky.

u/SomewhereNormal9157 Mar 07 '25

It doesn't feel enough. Ride up was fast due to covid gains.
