Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I admit that I had no idea who Ash Barty was prior to reading this article. Apparently, she is the #1 ranked woman tennis player in the world and at the age of 25, she going to retire from tennis. Basically she is tired and wants to do other things. I think it's an interesting story to see someone going out at the very top of their career. I don't know what her earnings have been, but I would guess they have been pretty good and if she manages it well, she could so whatever she wants*.
The article goes on to discuss the "quarter life" crisis as well, which I think could be quite detrimental for a lot of people working towards the prime of their income producing years.

* Edit: Yeah, she's made plenty of money.

Harrison said it was interesting to note the growing number of people in their mid to late twenties and early thirties experiencing a “quarter-life crisis” or rethinking their goals and priorities.
She said it was easy for people to feel “locked-in” to a chosen job or career but that we shouldn’t be afraid to change direction.

According to the offical WTA website, the Australian's prize money total at the time of her retirement sits at US $23,829,071. Barty's 2022 Australian Open triumph alone brought in $2,163,220
