[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have any answers for the OP on dealing with the stress except to downshift.  Life is indeed too short and the OP has likely pissed away a substantial amount of it climbing the corporate/law firm/government ladder.  I advocate to anyone who will listen that once they land a high-paying job in their late-20s/early-30s, they should bank as much money as possible.  Don't buy the BMW, enormous house with the large mortgage, expensive vacations, etc...  There is nothing wrong with buying a Honda, the small(er) home, modest vacation, etc....  The money you save will eventually save your life (or what's left of it).

Too many people who have spent 20+ years striving to reach a very high compensation level can't imagine living without it.  It would be somehow shameful - i.e. admitting defeat - if you admitted that you can't hack it anymore.  Newsflash - it's isn't defeat.  It's actually declaring victory.  Let yourself accept the fact that you "won" the game and that you have nothing left to prove.[/quote]

Great advice.  Kids grow up really fast, don't miss your window to spend quality time with them.  [/quote]
