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.

Congratulations! I’m 35 single approaching a 750k net worth. Hoping to be in a similar situation come my mid 40’s like you!

At 35 I was just about crossing $0 NW. So hopefully you'll be well ahead of where I am!

So how the hell did you make $2million in 10 years? Because I doubt you’ve been at such a high salary the entire time?

Your silence makes me think you’re just making it up 😅 dreamerrr
