I left coding. "Retired" at 29. goofed off until covid hit (age 33). Was very apathetic, developed some nasty self destructive habits.. covid kinda woke up me up. Moved to a rural area. Bought a 20 acre farm. Got a entry level job as a carpenter. Within a year i had hired the master carpenter i was working with (after our boss was in a motorcycle accident and closed his business). Just got our first house (custom home, 3600sf) to build two weeks ago. Im making $500-600 a day now.
im happy, way more happy. still a bit hard to make friends (slow process). currently trying to find a (young, traditional) wife. my health improved greatly (strong as an ox now, where before i was spindly and underdeveloped), and im not depressed or apathetic at all. i leap out of bed! eager to go to work. and the sense of accomplishment at the end of the day is unparalleled.
