[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a troll post, but between investments and cash, we have a NW of 18M. I grew up with an immigrant mentality, do have a hard time believing it is enough. Also, with the stock market (majority of holdings) it feels like it can disappear/crash…how do you transition into feeling like you are ok?[/quote]

What's your HHI?  I wouldn't work at that NW but quitting would only mean eliminating 1% of my NW (gross).  A rounding error.  If you make $2M/year, then I could understand still working.[/quote]

OP here. HHI is around 780k, used to be closer to 1M, but now a little less. Thanks, the "real" responses to this post are helpful.[/quote]
OP here. I am 53 , DH 57[/quote]

What jobs do you do that you don't hate them and keep working?[/quote]
OP here. DH is in medicine, was at a private practice and didn't like it. DH thought he was going to retire, but got bored and ended up taking a salaried job more specialized and less stressful. My background is in healthcare and I work for the federal government and enjoy the job because I like my colleagues, it feels purposeful, and is in the interest of public health.[/quote]
