Not a right or wrong answer here either. Have had 215k+ tech jobs since I was 24 and now 30 making 300k.

I’ve learned it’s now so much the amount you get, but the company culture.

To answer question to OP more directly. Save and invest intelligently and don’t spend what you can’t afford. Been fairly frugal and sitting over 1 mil. My dad had a boring desk job and just retired with same philosophy and currently sitting at 10 mil networth.

He drove a truck for 20 years that he sold for 500 bucks and a crappy car he drove for another 15 years that he sold for 1k.

Not saying you need to enter the extreme to have happiness, but financial growth is like a snowball. Slow and steady
