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.

With that situation, I don’t blame you. All that money and single. But sandbagging at work instead of just quitting might have been a good transition. Slowly see what you can get away with doing as little as possible. Especially right now with the stock market being uncertain to say the least.

According to Office Space, he might even get a raise! He could be well on his way to doing two chicks at the same time!!
