At what stage in life should I stop focusing on my career & focus on investing well instead?
Status: Mid-30s, currently drawing a good salary of ~$15k, but big uncertainty in future career outlook.?
Context: Hit career ceiling at current company, and hard to get similar or better paying roles elsewhere. May lose job a few years later.
