[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry, he’s made between 1-4 million in the last five years, you have 1 car, 2 kids not yet in school, don’t travel, and you don’t have millionS in savings??? Don’t you invest?

You should be set for life. What are you spending money on? Drugs?

I call fake on this.[/quote]

OP here - of course we have millions in savings.  That is what we are doing with our money - saving it.  Like I said in a previous post, it doesn’t feel like anything will be a safe amount or give my family security due to how I grew up.  I realize that rationally that is an out of touch thing to say.  Sorry I’m not fake, or trying to be a jerk.  It is something I am struggling with, like it or not.     [/quote]

I say this with kindness, but have you considered therapy to work through some of this?[/quote]

100% but I can’t bring myself to actually do it because there are people working through real issues with their therapists - abuse, addiction, mental illness - I imagine talking about my problems and sounding like such a whiner.  Maybe I should get over that though. [/quote]

Everyone has their battles!  It just seems like your upbringing is (potentially) clouding your judgement on this, if there is truly no number in the bank that will make you feel safe enough to quit.

FWIW, if a relevant part time option is available in your field, you could always consider starting there.[/quote]
