[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me it’s not even my work that I dislike, it’s everything else about it - the waking up early getting out of your warm bed on a cold dark winter morning, crappy long commute, have to answer to other people, being compelled to to go work even when you’re not feeling it that day, 5 days week, not having enough time for hobbies, exercise, home cooking, travel, spending time with your family - at least not without feeling like your life is hectic. WFH was supposed to fix some of this but now it’s going away in most places. Also NEEDING to live in a HCOL area with terrible traffic and everyone around you is an obsessive overachiever sucks too.

I ONLY work for money at this point, as soon as I have a few mil I’m gone. I don’t get people with 7+ million dollars who still choose to grind away their young healthy years in the rat race in, to be honest, a crappy city like DC (or any other HCOL area for that matter).[/quote]

We have about 3.5M in various assets.  I’d love to quit.  I am only working for the money.  The problem is just because we have that money we don’t have access to it.  There would be tax penalties.  I’d also not be able to afford to do the fun things.  I also had kids late in life so still not sure what their needs will be.  How would I pay for health insurance?  What is there is a medical emergency or health problem.

It sucks.  It is like I have enough but I don’t.  I hate my job.  My boss is mean.  It is very busy.  I have to do the work when they want me to do the work and not on my own time.

It totally get it.  It would be too risky to quit.  I am 50.  Might never find something else.[/quote]
