[quote=Anonymous]You are asking three different questions--do you have enough to retire, should you retire and how can you feel secure enough to retire.

Yes, you have enough to retire. Most people will never see $18M in their bank accounts, ever. Move the money to somewhere safe and you will still be fine.

Should you retire is up to you. I am a few years younger than you and have nowhere near your NW but if I won the lottery tomorrow, I don't know that I would retire. I might shift to a slower, lower paying job but I like my current job and I don't mind working. My kids are in school, my friends all work, my parents don't have health issues where they need me to be around all the time. I would be bored to tears if I didn't have something to do. So I don't think you are wrong to keep working if you like it.

How to feel secure is another issue. I agree with one of the PPs who said therapy. I think it may help you to talk about it and figure out ways to change your mindset. I have similar issues with money (though not as much of it) and I often think I should do the same. [/quote]
