Im trying to enjoy it while I can. But also looking forward to making 10x as much as I do now.

 

i think that's called depression

 

Eh, evrey person will tell you this, but more money is just another heap of BS. I used to think if I had 50k I would be set, then I hit that and it was 75k I would be fine, I hit that, then 100k and life would be easy, hit that, then 150k..... Took me until 36 to realize money isn't everything and time away from work and no stress means everything.

That's my philosophical almost middle aged advice to the youth for the day.

 

Fair, looking forward to 5 weeks off though, no work no school

 

I liked that game...

 

feels like it's been a long, long time since it came out. still listen to the soundtrack occasionally

 

So, fucking, true.

I just got a raise and change in job position last month, and at the same time, I'm looking at downsizing even more to step down to a job that pays less, requires less time at work, and allows me the flexibility to enjoy more Me time.

I tried that at my last employer and I couldn't move down so I quit. Now I'm at a job level "lower", make a little less money, but in a far cheaper area, better company culture and loving life so far. Took an audit of what's important in life and I realized making almost $200k wasn't it, my QOL was horrendous!

 

That things cool!

 

i'd rock it

 

No shit

I'm wanting to both move down in position and move into an area that's cheaper to live in.

Fortunately I don't have bay area cost of living here, and my salary gets me ahead here but the amount of time put into work just isn't worth it.

Once the car is paid off....really in a few months cause I only owe like 3k, I'll start to look at work in a different field. Making +150k/yr is fun and all but taxes suck a shit ton as a single person with no dependents.

 

150k a year out by you is like making 60k out here. lol High cost of california living is the biggest reason all my friends that moved out there, are moving back... hell one kids making almost 200k a year and still can barely afford to live in san fran

 

In my specific area, not really.

Bay Area, a 1 bedroom can cost you 4-5k a month.

Here its 1.5k-2k so more than half the cost.

It's why I said I'm ahead and the house is paid off; the amount of hours I work isn't worth it though.

Cost of living fluctuates greatly depending where in CA you are.

 

thats still a ton of money.

 

Yes, but again people think CA, and automatically think LA and SF Bay Area.

 

but in indiana terms. expensive

 

Someone should reach out and ask if it'll pass smog, just to see how he responds

 

"But will it smog?.."
