I have several SV friends who peaced out to go farm/ranch/spend time with their families. It makes me uncomfortable.

How much did they make? I mean... Depending on how much they made, I know a lot of people that would get away from the world Alaska especially

They havenโ€™t said. But I assume they continue to work for the challenge and drive or to keep up with the Joneโ€™s. They could take their stock options and retire comfortably but maybe not keep their current lifestyle. Iโ€™m making assumptions though.

Everyone has their own reasons... Sometimes it's completely irrelevant... Family especially

I have one friend who is by all measurable objectives, completely fine, but they are trying to have kids and heโ€™s got it stuck in his mind that his future theoretical children must start going to private school starting when theyโ€™re 3-25 and has this crazy budget in his head for how much this may cost. He will never be able to stop working if heโ€™s seriously going to send them to 50k a year preschool. To each their own I guess.
