  I went through most of my life earning a 6 figure salary with bonuses every year but I was never 100% happy.. A few years back the company I was working for went under. I took a few months off before setting out looking for work. Plenty of jobs out there similar to what I did and I got a few offers. In the end I turned them down. I mate of mine who runs a pub in our village jokingly said &quot;Why don&apos;t you come work for me? &quot; For the last 2 years I have been working the bar during the week and run the kitchen on Sundays and I couldn&apos;t be happier.

  Tristan, you are a VERY honorable man with a exceeding amount of INTEGRITY. Money does NOT buy happiness. You made the correct decision.

  I’m a wealthy guy by most standards but it took me until 68yrs of age to realise what you have found earlier in life that wealth is fantastic but you can only eat so much lobster as my son said to me one day recently. I now have stepped out of running our businesses &amp; work 3 x days at a food kitchen for the poor in our city. Never have I had so much enjoyment helping others.<br>I regularly donate anonymously when the kitchen is low on funds &amp; have bought new equipment for the kitchen. No one has any idea it’s from our family, my son reckons he’ll now have his Dad around another 10ths &amp; daughters too. My appreciation of my family has grown hugely. I’m able to do little things for many people again anonymously &amp; see &amp; hear first hand their lives change &amp; improve. <br>If you are in a wealth position you have the mental make up for change &amp; I can only recommend doing something similar.

  I have no clue how I got here but glad I arrived. Very interesting life. 20 years at sea in a &quot;tight&quot; living/working space is enough for you and your wife. Best of luck moving forward to you both.
