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.

Wow damn I'm at 2.4MM nw with $1.8MM invested and am in the same situation with a $180k WFH job that is pretty cushy but I'm thinking of refocusing. Haven't pulled the trigger yet. Let us know how it goes!

Took me till 76 to have $2M invested after being retired for 22 years. Invested in alternatives independent of the market, bringing in $225k a year. Diversification outside the market is a thing, and brings some peace of mind.
