What do you do now? I'm also looking to get out of this industry, but it's tough to voluntarily give up the pay.

How much money do you need?! I don't find it a particularly hard sell to not sell off my time after having reached my retirement number.
You need enough money to be able to afford to retire, for starters…
Wow, what an insightful comment, paired with a downvote. I am in awe.
Nevermind that the calculation of their retirement number was what I was suggesting in the first place.
It's amazing to me that even HN is full of this kind of petty jealousy, where people are ostensibly amiable to founding their own businesses and owning their time. God forbid someone retire. I expect to get downvoted on Reddit for even daring to mention I can afford bread, but I didn't expect that kind of thing here.
Maybe you should choose a different sin, you know Envy is the only one you can't have any fun at, right?
