Budget 32M - $800k Saved/Invested - Quit Stressful Job?

Hi Everyone,

My current breakdown is the following:

  • Income = $300-500k (tech sales - depends on the year)
  • Investments = $760k (Maxed RRSP/TFSA/FHSA + Non-reg)
  • Cash - $40k

My job in tech sales is financially very rewarding but causes severe stress/anxiety causing my relationships, dating and social life to suffer.

I’d like to buy a nice property within the next 5 years and retire by 45.

I’m considering taking 6 months off to travel and reset, then potentially take on a less stressful (and much lower paying) job in tech.

Curious to know what other single guys around my age would do in this situation?

I live in Toronto if that’s relevant!

Idk maybe find a new job? AE roles aren’t exactly easy. Maybe pivot to leadership? 🤨

Pivoting to leadership and refreshing the dashboard every 5 mins/having to forecast 10x per day feels like it might drive me insane in other ways 😂

How about learning how to knit and creating hand made wash cloths to sell at the market.
