      I’m thinking of moving from my higher paying career field to one that will pay me a nearly break even salary (for this living area) because my heart just isn’t in this anymore. Talking days of staring at the screen and not doing anything. Feels bad yo.

        How close are you to retirement? If you increased savings from [high paying career], how much longer would you have to work at it before you could stop working altogether?

          Not close to retirement. Can’t save because of family debt that I didn’t accrue. If I was solo I would lean fire my way into a nice small house somewhere to chill but that ain’t happening.
