Make that 5, I started as programmer, rose to Program and Test Manager positions, spent 10 years, living out of a suitcase on contracts in UK EU, baled out at 45 exhausted, always feeling angry/stressed and probably on edge of a breakdown. It took me 3 years to feel normal. Now I and swmbo run B&B in lovely Beer, Devon. Had a couple of local PT jobs, and now work PT for Apple in Tech. role in Exeter, got this by accident, pays for goodies and keeps us above water.

Do I miss what I used to do , absolutely not, I'd probably be dead by now if I had carried on. We have a 1/3 the money, but still do lots of stuff, and I now enjoy my life as I have time to be me, walk Harry our lovely Irish Setter and play with Rosie.

Life's too Short, it's not a dress rehearsal, live for today, and try not to have regrets....
cheers wine
