Went from always busy to actually having time. It's weird.

Quit the side hustle that was consuming 20 hours a week. I thought I needed the extra money but turns out I needed my life back more. Now I have weekends where I'm not stressed or thinking about work stuff. My wife asked if I was okay because apparently I seemed different. I miss having something to prove I guess, but spending Saturday morning with my kids without being on my phone is pretty incredible.

Six months in and I'm already learning that the hustle isn't everything. Glad you figured this out before burning out completely.

Man, this hits different. I've got three kids and I used to think I needed that side money for everything, but you're right - you can't buy back time. Enjoy those weekends, that's the real currency.

Dude, good for you. I'm still in the thick of it with twins and a teenager, running on coffee fumes most days. Stories like this make me think about what I might be missing.
