My career is at the point where I make enough money to comfortably buy anything (non-crazy expensive) I'll ever want to buy. Except a house, of course -- it would be obscene to afford a decent one of those in a major US city. I hate living in major cities anyway, and covid has made it essentially impossible to build a friend group in a new city. So my plan is to move closer to family, but into a walkable small town where I can establish a community, volunteer, and really set down some roots. I plan to de-emphasize work when possible to grow more into my hobbies: espresso, bike touring, and reading. Hopefully push one of the novels floating around in my head into a full-blown book, or at least a solid start on one. Life is too short to spend all of your effort on work in a city that you only live in because of work.
