People of Reddit, what's the best advice you ever got?

Don’t fear change.

I was in a good job but was in a bad situation and I was there a long time. I was salary and in a position of power but the management was toxic. I hated it but it was paying my mortgage and I could take random week long vacations regularly. But it was killing me inside to do the job. My wife told me to quit. I did. I walked into my bosses office handed him my id badge and walked out leaving 87 unpaid vacation hours behind me. I took my family on a month long vacation and got a menial job at a wear-house when we got back. No stress. Little less pay but I can do OT if I need to. And she says I’m much nicer happier person now that I’m not coming home from a shitty job everyday. It’s been almost 3 years now and my hourly is more than my old salary was and we are all good. I was at the Shit job 5 years and was to afraid of change to leave until she convinced me to not fear change.
