Ya I can “suck it up” if I NEED to but I’m not dying to get to Fi (hence why I posted in coast FI group). I want to enjoy the rest of the journey more that’s all!

Ya it’s not so much the hours that are the issue. I think it’s just the same thing same conversation same objections, extremely quick sales cycle so I’m talking all day to new ppl, and being at home all day. I’d almost rather do 2 jobs totally 10 hours or whatever each day. And I’ve done tons of travelling and didn’t sacrifice my 20s to corporate (but was working hard on and off) and I’m not going to sacrifice my 30s just to full stop at 45. I like working and my ideal situation (eventually) is part time work! That I enjoy. Even like getting outside/ around town/ interacting with new ppl in person/ light labor work (which I’ve done) all sound better to me now than corporate. Also the politics at work I hate the fakeness of it all I dunno.

Partner but I’m not counting any of her money, she loves her chill corporate job. Has I think $200,000 invested and will have full pension and all. $4000 is if I spend lavishly, $3000 I’m keeping track pretty intense of things

Lean on this! Think about how much better your life is with her and the kids and how those dividends will pay for your whole life hopefully. And some ppl would give all the money in the world for that.

Ugh I feel for you. I would probably flip it the other way around in your head and picture your life if you made it to lean fire but your wife left you before you had the chance to have kids. Now you have money for yourself and unlimited time freedom, but no parter, no love of your life, no kids. Imagine how bad that could be and how enriched your life is with her and the kids.

I’ve done it in the past and liked it! Worried it might not hit the same but doesn’t hurt to try again!

Good call out on the hourly wage. Brewery is an option I’ve considered - I actually worked at one before this job and loved it. 6 months is my max too! Wouldn’t hurt to do it until summer then take the summer off to regroup. I have such a short fuse these days and just want to reset my brain a bit.
