Quitted my previous job and accepted a 20 hrs / week remote contract dev job with 40% pay cut, I haven't woken up by alarm clock for almost 1 year now, no more arduous commuting, plenty of time to spend with family and hobbies. Wrote and sold two books using the free time I have got. Although I could have accepted full time job offer with higher pay, I think the free time to pursue hobbies / side businesses are more worth it for me
