The "Hardest" part for us is moving from "Save as much as you can" to "time to YOLO" - yes I know that sounds awful, but it's true.

Update: Net worth continues to grow, I have since been promoted yet again and make even more $ at my job which I still enjoy.
Wife quit her job at the start of 2023 and has spent the time with the kids, she is looking to start a new job soon, but it is only a 1 year contract so if she decides she doesn't want to work she can easily walk away.
I have purchased a fancy car that people would say costs too much money, and we (the family) are leaving for a 6 week vacation to Asia this month, showing our move from "save everything" to "enjoy now."
