Bro, I feel like we were separated at birth. "Mo' money, more problems." I make less than I did back then, but now I have so much time with my son. I can't go back to that grind. I won't go back to it.
Right?! I have a very few places in mind that I would go back to work for someday. And the price tag would be high, because that's what it'd cost to buy that time back from me. But man, these years working for me, with no one to report to but my wife, that's gonna be hard to ever replace. Hopefully we can raise a beer in person someday soon!
I've been meaning to get down to Alabama for a few years now. I have a lot of dear friends in the Florence/Shoals area. Will definitely keep you posted. And same if you're ever cutting through Chapel Hill on the way back to Brooklyn! (especially if it's during basketball season)
You’re wise beyond your years. I would have made the same decision. Unfortunately, money tends to be the most important thing to a lot of people. I often tell my brother that he wouldn’t have to work as long and as hard as he does if he just turned down his lifestyle by 20%. He thinks I’m crazy so the feeling is mutual.
Cheers to your long bike rides and afternoons with your son! That’s the greatest wealth.
And it is important, for sure! And someday, when I'm staring down the barrel of two college payments, I might regret my decision a bit. But not as much as I think I would if it were the other way around.

Yes, the wife is the boss, and the kid is the landlord.
Getting together would be great!

I doubt you'll regret your decision. Plus that's what 529s and compound interest are for!
Work smart, not hard!
I hear ya, man! That being said... please feel free to forward that gentleman’s info to me.
You don't want that job. It also comes with unlimited PTO!
Gross!!!!!
Disgusting!
