<prompt> Human: My fiance inherited a home that is around 45 minutes from my current employer. He takes home around 45,000year, and Im at around 80,000 - 3,000, depending on bonus. Anyways, were going to move-in early next year, after weve done some minor cosmetic renovations, which are being paid for with money he also inherited. This is a great opportunity for both of us, as were only 30 and will have free housing for the forseeable future. The home was built in the 1970s, and has copper plumbing, which appears to be in very good shape. The shingle roof was replaced around 10 years ago, and I think it probably has 5-10 years left on it. AC was replaced within the past few years. No other major structural issues. Im an attorney, and hate my job. I hate the idea of commuting 45 minutes to a job I hate. Closest employment opportunities are at least 30 minutes away. Honestly, I have no interested in continuing to practice, particularly in the area of insurance defense, where I ended up. I would be totally okay with making 30,000 - 40,000 a year doing something that gives me more free time and a better quality of life. That being said, I have no idea what Id do. Maybe become a teacher or realtor? I feel like Im overqualified for a lot of jobs that I want to do. My fiance has indicated that he would be fine with me even just having a part time job, and eventually being a SAHM for awhile, when we decide its time to have kids. I have 5k left on a low-interest car loan, which will be paid off by the end of the year. He has 15k in loan-interest student loan debt, which is currently deferred, since hes still in school part-time about halfway through a bachelors degree and will probably get a businessfinance degree. Has anyone been in the position where youve been able to drastically reduce your income or stop working altogether rather than continuing to work toward financial goals more quickly? How do you feel about your decision now? I dont know if this is a right subreddit for my post, but Im really looking for feedback regarding a decision that probably doesnt make sense on paper, but feels like the right life decision for me. Assistant: This sounds like a quarter life crisis.Have you paid off your student loan and law school debt. Are you ready to throw away something you spent 7 years working for. It sounds like you need a new employer, not a new career. Human: I paid off the SL debt. I might be fine practicing somewhere else, if the hours arent soul crushing. Thats the rare exception in law. I dont think its necessarily a quarter-life crisis. Im just not happy and want to do something that gives me a better quality of life.  <response>: I might be fine practicing somewhere else, if the hours arent soul crushing.For soul-crushing hours, you should be making more than 80k. Biglaw starting salaries are 160k. You could get 80k for a no-stress government job.
