    my grind wasn’t for fu money, but early retirement / being comfortable with the mortgage

    separating from my partner ruined the early retirement plan, but at least I could keep the house and still afford a decent enough lifestyle without too much worry

    I knowingly traded an extra 10 hours a week for half a decade so I could be financially stable, and for most of that time, I enjoyed the work, so it was worth it. but I’m there now, and it’s time to cut back. don’t have fuck you money. don’t have early retirement. but I’m stable and happy enough.
