I went the lean FIRE route, and now work on whatever open-source projects I feel like, plus local in-person volunteer activities. It's a much better quality of life, even though my job had been enjoyable, the extra scheduling flexibility is really nice.
- mathgladiator 7mo agoMe too. It has been great. Im working on projects that are fundable, and now I have joy from it (did go through a lonely pity party phase).

I just want more time for learning, everything else feels like a distraction.
