If I retired today, and it wasn’t by way of becoming suddenly mega rich, idk what I would do with my life.

Im always doing the math on money and retiring and everything my HS track coach really put me on that stuff im so thankful for that dude he loved us

I would probably get a part time job at some store that sold stuff that I was interested in

It would be easy to work a simple job and not have to worry about money/being able to quit

Yeah im praying i can get a good exit on my company and accelerate it i just don’t wanna sell my soul in the process

Honestly for people who are able to WFH, there’s basically no point of ever retiring

It would also get me nice spending money

yeah basically same. i joined my current job with the purpose of an exit. but its become such a grind idk how worth it is anymore.

idk, i work from home, i dont think this is true. i promise im not just being a contrarian. work from home doesnt shelter you from most workplace stresses.

I haven’t been to an office since i graduated college im thinking about leasing an office just to get out the house and it have be a cool space to chill with people

imagine the content u could watch on tik tok

I wouldn't want to work from home really

That would be so stressful

I live there I don't work there

lol same. i paid out of pocket for a cowork space at my last company. being at home sucks and its so hard to separate work from personal time.

i enjoy it

better than having to commute everyday and waste money on gas

I just walk to and from work which I enjoy doing

I got good at the separation, one of my jobs is chill as hell so it’s pencils down don’t bother me at 5pm, i take a 15 minute walk, a power nap, then start job 2. Most people can’t mentally do that tho

My main stresses in life are my commute and lack of sleep. WFH basically fixes both of those instantly. Also, like you have the freedom to get chores done on your breaks which probably leaves your actual free time much better

that's a W though

most people dont live within walking distance

Busses are all over !

yeah. im one of the few EST timezone people so i get pinged until like 8pm. sometimes its hard to put work down and not respond. sucks tbh.

It’s all relative, grass is greener type s***. If you had to do your current job but also be at work at 8am daily and all the prep that entails, it would suck infinitely more

nah you right for sure. but i dont think wfh is like cure. i think it is heavily dependent on the job you have. theres no chance i can do chores during my day.

You don’t get a lunch break?

Yeah kinda sucks. I’m based in NY but am bicoastal and live in OC a few months per year working EST hours so my WLB when im living in cali is good but unplugging isn’t easy with teams and slack on your phone

i mean, legally? sure. do i actually get to take it often? no

i finally muted slack after 5pm and removed it from my homescreen on my phone. i also try like burying my work laptop under a sweater or something in my office so its hidden.
