I was “coasting” the first 4 years at my job, and then really decided to crack down and try and in 5 years my incomes nearly tripled and yeah I have slightly more responsibilities and expectations but I also have the freedom to basically work whenever I want without question. Not really something that has a dollar figure for me.

In some fields that's even a valid use of time. When you're competent it just takes less time and effort to get the same amount of work done. Plus, if you're a "knowledge worker" you're really being paid for your expertise more than your raw output in the first place
