Anyone moved completely out of the HE-part of HENRY after crossing the multiple millions line? My wife and I have no desire to push much past where we’re at right now in the corporate world (both roughly equivalent to a very junior investment banking VP and making exceptional money before we’re 30), but we’re looking to take huge pay-cuts for more personally meaningful work and better hours. I’ve set a sort of soft finish line at 1.5m liquid with 2/3 of the house paid off which should be in the next few years for us. My wife wants to do social work and I’ve been mulling over the idea of becoming a high school teacher. All told, we’d face a potential 70%+ cut to our income but re-financing our remaining mortgage balance would make these career changes 100% feasible. Is this something anyone has ever done or are we completely out of our minds?
