I spent a decade and a half building a solid career with a high income job in a $44bn organisation. In 2023 I got divorced, had a mental breakdown and quit my job because of a toxic boss. My severance and divorce allowed me financial freedom and I now require very little to live.

You ever get the itch to join the rat race again? Or at least maybe an independent venture…?
Is there anything you miss from your previous life?
How do you find purpose in you life
What led to your divorce? Is there anything you would have done differently?
You cant take status, power or money with you. Enjoy your retirement to the fullest
So what do you do?
Dang, that’s a wild ride. Props to you for navigating all that. Two years is a long time though, what have you been up to? What are your plans for the future? Curious to hear your perspective on work/life balance now, after all you’ve been through.
Were you the bread winner in the relationship?
How much was your severance and what did you get in the divorce that allows you to live job free?
When did you last see your ex?
This was literally me. I made 300k but gave in to many vices in life. I decided to change careers and went back to school. Became a teacher. Don’t make nearly as much, but it’s put me on a different path in life.
I require much less to live. I don’t go to Vegas and party like I used to. But I am happier sober now. I do wish I had the luxuries of life without the sins
What life style changes have you made? Do you cut your own grass?
Hang in there dude !
Do you have any kids/ offspring/ crotch goblin?
What is more important to you in your life journey or the destination.
I’m on year three, almost same situation. Wanna be friends and talk about nihilism?
