Not much NW. I am diabetic and also diagnosed with hypertension 2yrs ago. So I don’t feel like chasing money or career. Recently divorced too I don’t feel like doing anything. Is this depression or mid life crisis ? I dunno how to overcome feel like am a loser. Any suggestions are welcome TC 220k after stock drop Yoe 10 Update: Thanks for suggestions. Will try therapy and exercising. See how it goes
Get off blind, exercise, and eat a healthy diet.
You’re better off than 99% of people believe it or not.
Figure out what makes you happy and don’t get caught up in the rat race that is blind. There is nothing wrong with where you are in your career if you are happy there! Pour your heart into your work if that’s what brings you joy but not everyone loves to work and there is way more outside of the bubble of calculating success based on level or total comp.
Take a break for a few months. Money isn’t going to solve your problems. Getting your mental health and physical health on track will. Life is too short to be living a life that you don’t want to and too long to not be doing things that you dream of.
I’m 37, L5. My NW is low. Feeling great.
How low?
Super low. Maybe like $20k.
Try to take break for while , understand your self on that time , it will help you🤓
Kids ? Quit Amazon as that’s likely the major cause of stress ? Regarding L5, with a solid prep of 3-6 months, you can easily get Amazon-L6-comparable offers outside. But in current market, TC jump may not be high
Wait until you are 50. Every year you stay here. You die 2 years earlier.
You live in the best country and make more than 98% of the people out there and you are here whining?
Poor comment. ^
i wish your kids get grade C and go to community college. Middle is good right ?
