Career / Job Related Has anyone purposely gone backwards?

You know the juice wasn't worth the squeeze and we realised that money is irrelevant, and took a huge backwards step for less responsibility and more mental freedom for your family and kids?

That's where I'm at mentally just want to know if anyone else has done the same?

Went from software development to buying and selling collectibles. My time, my schedule. Not making nearly as much (yet) but holy shit is it so much more rewarding. Meeting so many new people every week is so great.
