Making usd ~300k/year net currently (consulting in ME) but am not enjoying work at all. Wake up, work, sleep - rinse and repeat. Should I keep going for a bit longer to save up more or start living my life now (ie trying to find something meaningful to do). I’m already in a good place financially where I don’t need to worry about money, but also can’t afford to buy property back home (would probably need 2 more years for that).

Keep dping what you're doing for another year or two until hiring for exits is better. Do not quit until you have something lined up. Look into sabbatical and leave programs so you can recharge and interview prep if needed.

Only you can make that judgement call. For me personally, I wouldn’t want to give up two whole years of my life (not sure how long you’ve been doing this already) just to accelerate your timeline to buy a property.

You’ll never get that time back, but money will come.

Is this an okay financial decision or should we have bought a cheaper house/saved more?
