The best part about being so close to financial independence is that you stop taking work so seriously. Instead of logging into our 9am standup call, I’m going to my daughters school for a sing along show they’re putting on. I didn’t even ask permission. Just pinged my boss on teams and said this is what I’m doing. Don’t care about any repercussions. Earlier in my career, the anxiety about job performance and stability would have caused me to miss it.
