Boredom is my own personal fear. I hit my FIRE number back in 2018. I was going to retire at N amount or age 45. I hit N pretty early, couldn't pull the trigger, a few more years passed by. Now I'm almost double N due to stock market / money printing inflation. This is approximately 50x my yearly expenses. Ideal situation is 2 to 3 days of work a week, with very few zoom meetings, scrums, or other bullshit.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could trade pay or hours for avoiding arseache like you can negotiate a salary? Like, "I'll take a 5% salary cut but I'll not be required to attend certain meetings" or "I'll work an extra x hours a week for free but I'll never have touch an Atlassian product ever again".
- thrtythreeforty 5y agoHave you made motions toward your ideal situation? If not, is there anything that makes you hesitate toward making those changes? I ask because I see many people saying "couldn't pull the trigger" for a variety of reasons, and while I don't think I would have that issue, those people have also said that they didn't think they'd have that issue.
