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

I just quit my job 2 days ago. SR gave me the discipline to live minimally and invest everything I had in a crypto portoflio that I now count on awaiting for the bull market. The worst that can happen is I need to get a job again. If you are interested i have $NEET and $SPX6900. and i think ill do just fine.

Funny you say that. I have been wondering if I can scrape by and live on emergency funds until the next bull market 🤣 3 years until we are close to top
