I did it, I left big tech on my terms bc I refused to push their anti-American socialist agendas. I stayed true to myself and values and so can you. F the commies.

Wow. Alright, I'll need to take a look at the job market again.
You're right about feeling like an indentured servant. The 6-figure salary is pretty much a lie. About 40% of the income goes to taxes and insurance, another 50% to mortgages (or rent if you are renting), and the remaining 10% is left to pay for tuition, food, gas, etc. It use to be easy to get by with a budget of $500 per week for everything, but with inflation, everything's been getting more expensive and I'm finding myself eating into my cash reserves.
What you just described was all by design. I figured out how to cut extraneous expenses, no matter how minimal. Paid my car off, don’t carry credit card debt, Salvation Army is where I shop, pack my lunch, etc. Student debt will be gone next year and our mortgage is our main but reasonable expense. In fact, we pulled out stock (bc I don’t trust the market) and bought an investment property before the market popped up. My mission is to not let them dictate my life and decisions bc I can be and stay independent.
