Oh man. I'm in the same boat. Have a very good job with a Fortune 50 company, and workload is pretty decent. I get to work from home and collect a very good salary. I am now at crossroads: move back to a city, where the company HQ is, pay a shit ton more on rent and food, and try and move up, or do I just spend more amazing time with my two kids under 5 by watching them grow and being a dad that's present and continue stacking sats. I obviously hope that I can one day retire on those sats. It's the fact that I feel like I have an OPTION to not just be in a rat race for more money that gives me some mental freedom.
One day, I hope to quit the job when Bitcoin goes where I hope it does, pick up something I truly care about, help people, and live free!
I think you made the right choice in your life :)

I’m pretty sure the company and salary profile differ quite a bit, but I was weighing the same options, more or less.
My thought process was expedited by a very sudden loss of a close friend, which made me think long and hard about those future goals (and “gains”).
While I’m 100% on board with the low time preference ethos, and thinking long term, the cold hard fact of life is that we are alive *now* and there are absolutely zero guarantees that we get to enjoy tomorrow. In that light, I made the choices I made.
It should be noted: I got lucky in life to be able to make those choices. Maybe your circumstances differ, and foremost: you shouldnt trust a random stranger on the internet to make those hard choices for you!
Either way, I hope you find the strength to make your decision and wish you the best of luck! 🙏🏻
