Left corporate job and couldn't be happier

Spent 15 years climbing the ladder, making great money, hating my life. Always told myself it was for the kids but really I was just running from being present. Finally quit 6 months ago and took a lower paying job with actual work life balance. We had to cut back on some stuff, kids share a room now instead of having their own, sold the fancy car. But you know what? My daughter doesn't cry when I drop her off at school anymore. I actually know what's going on with my kids' lives. Money was good but man, this is better. Miss the paycheck sometimes but not for a second do I miss that job.
