"At the same time, I can't stand work at all. Everyday I have no motivation to continue on at work and just want to quit. However, I'm tied to making money for my family, the Meta employee said on Blind.

Fighting to save

The Meta employee further continued to say that at this point they are just fighting to save every dollar so that they can reach their target of achieving the required net worth.

“I don't know how much longer I have in me. Feel like I'm fighting to save every dollar right now and watch my nw slowly climb.,” the user said on Blind.

Meta employee asks for advice

Concluding the post, the Blind user asked if it gets easier after one hits a net worth of $1 million.

“Does it get much easier after 1M? Is the end in sight? My goal is 3M,” the person asked.

What did netizens say?

Reacting to the Meta employee's post, an American Express employee advised to stop looking at the numbers and enjoy the present.

“Stop tracking numbers on a screen. Today is the youngest and healthiest you’ll ever be. Make every day count,” the Amex employee said.

To this, the OP replied, “For some reason, I can't stop thinking about it. All I think about is working, saving money, and retiring early to finally enjoy my life.”

A Google employee chimed in and said, “I think he/she is saying that you need to find ways to enjoy life now. Otherwise you'll get to some artificially crates 3M number at age 35 and be like wtf did I do the last 11 years. And yes, compounding does start to work magic above 1M.”
