[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am completely relate to OP.

I'm 51, productive supervisor, I have exceptional performance reviews, I like my job but the demands are high, lots of deadlines, training new staff, etc. I also have children in high school which has its own set of challenges (making sure they complete assignments, travel soccer). Once my children graduate from high school, my plan is to downsize, move to an area with lower cost of living, and take a job with less responsibilities. DH also wants to do that. A job that is more task oriented, when you are done with your work for the day, you are done. I really need that for my mental health. [/quote]

I don’t understand lower cost area. I am older but if last kid goes instate I need to wait to move.

Downsizing does it really lower cost much. 
In my case realtor fee is $90k, prepping, moving and closing costs almost 30k. Buying new house 30k  closing plus moving costs and knowing wife are least 20k to make her own.

Now I am at $170k. My mortgage is 380k payoff date 2037. If I just instead of moving wrote check 170k towards mortgage it would mean the remaining amount would paid off quickly.

Other wild card I did take a less stressful lower paid job and my boss was a control freak so was not less
