[QUOTE="Prairie Sasquatch, post: 3059559, member: 124243"] I worked in the corporate grinder as a banker for almost 20 years. I did really well but the stress and corporate politics became unbearable. I had climbed up the pyramid high enough to realized most of the people above me were likely narcissistic at best and at worst sociopaths. All they did was work and most of them had destroyed at least one marriage and messed up some kids. A few were truly great people but they were the exception and not the rule. Eventually I was able to grow my side gig big enough to quit. I feel very very fortunate. My overall quality of life is so much better. I make less money but being my own boss and having some flexibility with my time makes me much happier. [/QUOTE]
