i appreciate the thoughtful response. A lot of food for thought.
Bit of sidebar: I have a few friends working high stress, lucrative but ultimately unfulfilling jobs and they've mentioned that their ultimate goal is to save as much as possible until middle-age then switch to a second career which aligns more w/ their sense of fun (eg trader -> make nature documentaries) + live minimally w/ max autonomy. Think the underlying actual goal aligns with how your tackling life. But not having that psychological safety net of ABC $ / [BTC] prevents them from executing now. If I zoom out, I actually think there's a large cohort of folks I know that aim to do something similar / get off the hedonic treadmill. Anyways, long way to say, good on you to actually walk the walk
