Yep, but it’s been pretty hard to exist while also remaining true to that ethos. Never been a ladder climber, but I have a corporate job working for a good boss at a good company that still sucks my soul away.
Recently I’ve realized I’m old enough that the end of the road doesn’t feel so far away as it once did. Would be good to be able to just enjoy my family, but there’s the little problem of being able to afford to live during retirement. :)
