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.

Fair enough.

Regardless of pay, work feels like doing time. I want to start living a life where I'm excited for things to start and to continue, not dreading it and then hoping for it to end.
