What would I do with myself? Anything but sit in another pointless meeting or pretend to care about the latest corporate policy. The focus should absolutely be getting out of the 9-5 as soon as possible.

It also magnifies the concerns around inflation and stock market returns that could chain you to the 9-5 longer than planned.
