I’m 36, lived very frugally in Silicon Valley since out of college and I now have $3.5M liquid saved up, with some illiquid lottery ticket from a unicorn that might not survive this downturn. Planning to quit by 40 and live a life of peace and quiet in Mediterranean Europe, where I was born and raised. Will spend my time napping, staying close to my aging parents that I really hope will still be alive by then, doing lots of outdoor activities, reading like a maniac, programming for fun, and never have a boss again for God sake. 7-8 years ago I was in the camp of those who thought they’d never retire, my passion for the industry and technology was too real. Well, Corporate America got the best of me and now I can’t wait to get out. Interesting to introspect how I changed over the years.
