Maybe I could retire now (€1M cash + €400k in diversified ETF + fully own my small flat + no kids) but I'm too afraid or unimaginative to do it yet :(

In theory I still have 17 years to go before being able to officially retire. I'm a bit too scared of the future to get disconnected from the job market yet. Also I still love working on technical problems and new tech, even though I absolutely hate the political bullshit and JIRA treadmill that go around nice tech in most jobs nowadays. My patience is getting tested every day.
