I just took a $10,000 reduction in pay

And I giggled like an idiot all day. For the last few years I have been working like an animal. Seven or eight months of 24 day shifts 13.5 hours a day with four days off between shifts. I usually make between $130,000 to $160,000 a year. I just accepted a full time position for $120,000 a year. Two weeks on, two weeks off. Ten hour shifts. So I will be working way fewer hours for a little less money. I have a girlfriend, a son, and a side hustle. I can devote much more time to all of those now. And I will not be burnt out. I'm done grinding.
