[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All, I have anxiety and depression, and also a very high IQ. I have worked so hard for 18 years since graduating college and finally hit the executive level. I did this for money.
I had to pay student loans, my mom did not have any retirement funds, and then I had kids so childcare and housing in DC is atrocious.

I had medical issues 4 years ago and have finally starting bouncing back, but the level of stress at my job is too much. But I want and need the money! Plus, with inflation my money anxiety is spiking high!!

What do I do here? Wealthy earners who did it yourself- what is the secret to longevity and endurance in earning (and keeping!) good money.

Thanks! [/quote]

Stay consistent with taking your medication, and speak with your doctor if it stops working for you.

Secondly, make your money work for you. Invest in index funds, as often as you can. I like Vanguard, Fidelity and T Rowe Price.

Also use your money to make your life as comfortable and stress free as possible. Hire the cleaners and babysitters or nannies. Get a meal delivery service or hire a cook. Hire a good yard guy. Reliable help can bring tremendous ease to your life and free up your time and mental space.

Third, be intentional about time off. schedule a quarterly vacation either by yourself, with family or with friends. Devote time to just being you, not the mom or worker or wife, but just you and what you enjoy. Meet up with friends and family monthly.

I do all of the above and my stress levels are very manageable. I hope you find the solution that works for you.[/quote]
