I refuse to be sad today, also I don't have a plan for if I succeed

 So I was getting motivated to move. I thought through leaving and failing right away. And figured financially, I could leverage the profit from the house to come back to NC.

And at first I thought sure succeeding was the easier choice - I suck it up and work for 5 more years, live off 60k, and make it to 1 million dollars. At 1 million, my expenses will need to be $40k or less at 4% withdrawal.

But what if my "rich life" is at $60k. What do I do then?

Cuz in the winning scenario I pictured, I would just downsize and move somewhere where I can live comfortably at $40k. But then what was the point of the $60k life?
