Thea :
Yeah, I'm a manager. I make six figures not a ton over six figures but you know it's nothing to sneeze at, but I just plan for retirement several times a week. It always comes down to health insurance though.

Living that right now. Went from absolutely loving my job and company to exhaustion and the Sunday icks.

CatsAreLife :
I’m there. I have three evals a year from three different institutions. I’m 60. Those who evaluate me are all younger with less experience. I care less about those outcomes than I do about the flavor of cat food my cat wants on the daily. It’s been freeing to abandon the concern, tbh.

Michelle | Paid Differently :
I spent years climbing the corporate ladder, then went on to build my own business. And you know what I eventually realized? I hadn’t escaped the rat race. I’d just become the person responsible for keeping the wheel spinning. There’s a big difference between being ambitious and being willing to give your entire life to that ambition. These days, I’m far more interested in building a life where success gives me more choices, not more obligations.

Going through this now. Maybe it’s a mid life crisis. I’m thinking about quitting my corporate job and doing something less mentally taxing. Unfortunately I need the same or more pay than I make now. Slave to the grind…

I wouldn't say you should stay in a toxic environment forever, but having a plan matters. Building my shopify store alongside my job gave me a much smoother transition into entrepreneurship.

Exactly. Just left my corporate job with no plan forward, but something had to change. Something better is coming.

Yes I just want to earn my own income working for myself. I was so tired of only being valuable if I was sifting in the office.

Yes. Except I have to work for the next 15 years minimum (who knows about retirement) but I’m so over it.
