Maybe, its somewhat appealing, but it's complicated. I guess I could definitely afford to retire, if I budgeted carefully, and lived in a modest cost of living location. The thing is, I don't mind working per se, and the social, teamwork, learning/challenge aspects can be nice. I just don't need all the BigCo corporate bs, politics, agile, performance review, 80 hr week stuff. It's a pity there doesn't seem to be any such thing as a chill job with chill people any more.
