Quitting My $250K Job to Write a Book—Am I Crazy?! 😱

Hey friends, I need your advice. I’m a 35-year-old woman, three years into a high-paying but soul-crushing job at a top tech company. Every morning, I wake up dreading work—my boss is unbearable, and the stress is making me physically sick. I feel trapped and unfulfilled, longing to do something that actually matters to me. Here’s the thing: I’ve finally hit a $1M net worth, no debt, no kids, and I could cut my expenses way down if I quit. I’ve always dreamed of being a novelist, and I’ve already written a 100K-word thriller. If I don’t take this chance now, will I ever? But leaving behind a $250K salary is terrifying, and I’m worried about derailing my financial goals. Has anyone else taken a leap like this? Did it work out? I’m desperate for some real talk and advice from people who get it. Would you bet on yourself? 🤔📚 #JobCareer #Career #CareerChange
