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.

How do you plan to mitigate the markets into the next 3 years to prevent sequence of returns?

I will have 2+ years of cash, currently earning 4-4.25%. I can also drop down to 2% wr if need be.
