I need to be working for a reason. Salaried work isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but the benefits it provided me weren’t benefits I actually wanted.

Xavier Shay, on why he quit a six figure job.

From following me here, you would know that I’d recommend being an entrepreneur (and hence your own boss) on most occasions. But what I’ve learned is that there are simply some people who don’t want to go that route and I’ve realized that, that too is perfectly fine.

And I guess that is why I love Xavier’s post; not because of his decision to got a 9 - 5 job, but because he made a decision unique to himself. If you read through the post, you will find specific reasons to his decision for quitting his job.

And that’s great, because that approach means that this kind of decision can never be a simple generic one.
