We Quit Our Jobs for FIRE, But Work Drama Follows Us Abroad! 🌏🔥

My husband (39m) and I (36f) finally pulled the trigger on our FIRE dream—sold everything, quit our jobs, and set off for Southeast Asia. We thought we’d left all our work stress behind, but remote work has its own headaches! 😩 Now, juggling part-time remote gigs while exploring Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam, we’re still dealing with unclear expectations, late-night calls, and communication breakdowns with our old teams. Sometimes it feels like we can’t escape the drama, even on the other side of the world! We’re searching for the perfect place to settle for a couple of years, but these lingering work issues are stressing us out. Anyone else deal with remote work conflicts while living abroad? How did you handle it? Would love your advice! 🌴💻 #JobCareer #FIREJourney #RemoteWork

My Boss Won't Let Me Work Remote - FIRE Dreams Crashing! 😰💸

Hey everyone, I'm honestly at my wit's end here and could really use your advice. My partner and I have been working toward FIRE for the past few years, but our plans are completely derailing because of workplace politics. We're both in tech and have been remote since the pandemic. Living in Seattle has been amazing, but the cost of living is absolutely crushing our savings goals. My rent alone has jumped 8% in just two years, and it was already insane to begin with! 😵 Here's where it gets messy - my company just announced they're ending remote work permanently. They want everyone back in the office by next month. Meanwhile, my partner's company is staying fully remote, so we have this perfect opportunity to move somewhere more affordable. But my boss is being completely inflexible about it. I've proven I can do my job remotely for three years, but apparently that doesn't matter anymore. I'm seriously considering quitting, but that would set back our FIRE timeline even more. Has anyone else dealt with this kind of situation? How did you handle pushback from management when your financial goals didn't align with company policies? I'm feeling so stuck right now! 😔 #JobCareer #FIRE #RemoteWork

Burnout Crisis: 35F in Higher Ed Fundraising Seeks Stress-Free Remote Job! 😩💻

I’m a 35-year-old woman who’s been working nonstop since college, mostly in communications and fundraising for higher education. My current job is full of great people, but the workload and constant demands are just overwhelming. I’ve realized, especially through therapy, that I’ve never set proper boundaries, and now burnout has hit me hard—physically and mentally. The stress has taken a toll on my health, causing weight gain and hormone issues. I’m actively working on boundaries and trying to rest more, but I’m worried about my future. Are there any remote jobs out there that pay over $75k and aren’t so stressful? I really need advice from anyone who’s been in my shoes or knows of better options. How do you cope with burnout and still pay the bills? Any guidance would mean the world to me! 🙏 #JobCareer #Burnout #RemoteWork
