A comment on Ask HN: How old are you and how much do you have saved for retirement?. Parent comment
I just got an amazingly sweet deal:
- I was remote so I lived out of my backpack in places around the world for many years (pre-COVID)
- I got my work done fast in less than 20h/week most weeks so I had plenty of time to e.g. learn another language to a conversational level
- I was able to save $15k - $20k/month
- I took 1 or 2 months of unpaid leave every year to pursue hobbies
Had I not been able to do that, I would definitely have quit earlier and taken a long break.
