I wanted to get some thoughts on my financial situation. I really don't enjoy working full-time and ideally want to go work-optional as soon as possible (or at least have the freedom to pursue another career without worrying about the money).

Assets:

  • Cash (Offset): $185k
  • Equities: $165k
  • Super: $97k
  • PPOR: $1.05m

Debts:

  • Mortgage: $710k
  • Tax Debt: $10k

I make about $140k a year and save $2-3k each month after all costs and expenses. My goal is to have the mortgage covered by assets in five years time (so when I turn 35) but I know that having a paid off PPOR doesn't really provide any freedom or generate income (unless I rent it out).

Is it realistic that I could drop to part-time work instead or potentially pivot into something lower-stress or remote so I can travel more? Keen to hear if anyone has done the same or in a similar situation?
