No more liabilities, living happily with family in a new, fully paid condo.
Family net worth, including condo is only about $3m. Worse than my contemporaries, but I am contented.
No need car as I am a taxi driver, saves a lot on transportation. My neighbours are my regular customers. I am their resident taxi uncle. I am not ashamed as they know my story, I was a successful executive but due to bad office politics, I had to go.
I am feeling very lucky. Even though I am a taxi driver, I can give many good business and life advice to my passengers.

To lose your job over office politics really sucks, its hard not to win without betraying your principles. But you sound like a contented man with a solid family, respect from those around you, little obligations (debt) and also a way to use your time and share your life history with your passengers. You got my respect for sure.
If fate has it one day I will be honored to be your passenger.
