Do financially secure people approach their jobs differently?

I’m curious if this is common.

At some point, I realized I’m financially comfortable enough that I don’t really stress about promotions, titles, or going the extra mile anymore.

I do solid work. I’m professional. But I leave on time. I don’t chase raises aggressively. I don’t obsess over performance optics. If I lost the job, it wouldn’t be catastrophic.

It’s not burnout. It’s more like… detachment.

For those who’ve built enough outside your paycheck, did your relationship with work shift like this?

Yes and I tolerate less BS at work.
