I surprised (pleasantly) nobody has raised ethical concerns, debt to the world or what not. I worked a nothing bank job for five years despite being very financially secure (which I did nothing to earn) and am quitting in a month or so. (32yo) I was almost completely motivated to work out of guilt, and am just now over it. Thanks for the post; I wish I read it four years ago.
In fairness, that’s a pretty unusual situation to be in. For most people, much the most reliable route to becoming “very financially secure” involves working, for someone else, for money. (How reliable a route that is to becoming VFS is, of course, very variable.)
