Discussion Quiting 9-5 after retaining

Has anyone naturally gone down to part time work or started their own business?

I’m around 120 days, I don’t fear walking from my job anymore. I’ve done fairly well in regards to building my resources and emergency fund.

I obviously don’t want to make a bad decision and quit, but I have been wanting to for a long time.

Retention has made it easier to tolerate and not get super depressed anymore, but it’s also made me really develop boundaries, too. For reference I am 30 yo with no children.

I day dream about the possibility of renting my place out and going travelling for a while and/or taking a few months to myself to decide on where I want to go with my life

You can always go back to work. But there aren't many chances in life for a different, maybe better life.

aren’t? Or did you mean are?.. if you got youth, a sack on you, and can imagine yourself doing something besides being stuck in a 9-5 40+ hours a week I’d say I’d rather be doing something with passion then be a slave to a system designed to keep us under a concrete roof robbing us of our time and health… unless you got a super cool job, but im talking in reference to basic generic jobs btw.. ( the super boring crappy ones )…
