I am 44 years old. After working in the corporate world for so long, I feel exhausted and tired of all the office politics. The long hours of work and entertaining has made me sickly. I had also neglected my teenage children all these years.

I have decided to quit the corporate world for good and now focusing on my health and children. I now feel more rested, healthier and happier. Spends a lot of my time teaching my children, helping their studies. Also have time to deepen my knowledge of my religion.

In the past, our household income was $300k pa but now it is halved. Now I contribute a passive income of $48k to the family, with the rest from my wife. However the bulk of our family's net worth of $2.25m still comes from me. Still managed to live in a condo. Our family expenses are manageable as we have always been prudent. We still manage to save about $20k a year now.

Even though our income is lesser, we are happier and closer as a family and I am healthier and more alive. Money is not everything it seems.
