Have been hearing many incidents like this lately... Does peace of mind overpowers everything?
If they quit everything then they have backup (i.e: generational wealth). I know a guy who worked with me, few years later he quit his job and tried to start a company on his own. When I asked how he's been spending for day to day expenses he said his parents have been sending him money monthly. He used his own savings for company building. I mean kudos to him for his work, but understand he has a backup in case of his business failed.
We don't have the luxury of quitting (atleast I don't). Most of us don't have these backups in life. So next time when you read quitting stories remember they'll always have backup wealth and they won't talk about it generally.

I kind of disagree, sometimes the mental pressure of these high-risk high paying jobs is way too much.
No doubt about it @sudo_whoami , but you would quit only if you can survive with the existing money you have

I will take “Things that didn’t happen” for a 1500 and “completely made up” for 500 bucks

Of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most.
And the things that did really happened. Unhappened because of it.
This acc is pure clickbait and karma farming. Be wary about what they post. Have heard not so good things.
That may be, but whatever is shared is still relevant I believe. There is an increase in number of people who feel that way to quit
Yes, anyone who's quit a good paying job because of a toxic boss can relate to the importance of peace of mind.
Idk if it's me but whenever I see the word ashram I associate it with the word cult. It's not piece of mind but a strong belief system that overpowers almost everything.
Watch ship of thesus. It addresses this itself
Random question @AGIcoming
Why do you use Twitter on browser and not app?
Asking cuz I do that with Instagram
But Twitter is still not that encroaching on my personal time so I don’t mind the app
I find Twitter list easier to use on browser.... I open multiple Twitter and Reddit tabs on chrome browser.... It is easier to manage

Can confirm that, honestly from personal experience.
I (23M) have been working remotely for the past year, earning around 70LPA in crypto. I've always had an urge to pursue higher studies and wanted to build up some safety net before pursuing so. Fortunately, I've gotten that opportunity through my current job profile. When I got this offer from the company, my parents had asked me if I was reconsidering my higher studies plan, since they were skeptical if I should leave this job after one year to become a broke student again. At that time, I was very sure that whatever happens I'm going to study. Over the past few months, my peace of mind is at the absolute worst, and I'm yearning to leave my current job, but I'm still pursuing it since I have financial goals to reach.
Believe me, even I used to have that perception that 'money cannot buy happiness, but crazy money can', but over the past few months I think mental peace is of utmost importance even when you're getting paid a lot. Only when you get a lot of money at the cost of mental peace, you tend to realise how important mental peace is. Else, it's always that grass is greener on the other side.

Not sure about whether the post is true or not, but this basically is the definition of luxury i.e. the luxury of choice. No one has that, but certainly does feel good when you can make choices without any repercussions.
It happens when one gets burnt out in too much ambitions and running behind worldly goals. Few dare to leave all back and join ashram or recluse life. Rest just accept this boring fact of life and just move on.
I personally know someone who left job at DE Shaw, tried running a startup which failed and now at isha foundation in coimbatore since a year.
There are people like this, it's rare but they do exist.
not everyone wants the same thing, once you can let go of responsibilities then only you can enjoy the things you ever really “wanted”
why earn money when all you ever wanted was peace and tranquility
