Everyone is eager to judge you, but I'm just curious. Why xo you think it made you happier?

I'm in a similar situation, and I'd say the main contributing factor to my happiness is not having to work 40 hours a week. Everything else is just sugar on top.




I still take contracts from time to time and do other work, even just because I find it interesting. I think it made me happier because, I'm free to follow things I like and enjoy.

Unlike the OP, I DO do paperwork though.
