[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Daydreaming is free.  55 is far enough out- go ahead dream away.  You might end up wanting to stay until your DC graduates from college (an extra year or two). Or you may not.  It is also a long enough time to see how your investments do and see if you need to make any adjustments.

In the mean time, I would look around where you work to see if there is another job you might like better that is not as soul sucking.  Is there a skill you could get that would give you a different job that would be more interesting?  Changing up your job -even slightly helps.  Is there a different department? [/quote]

It's complicated. It has to do with senior leadership being terrible, especially to women. My awesome boss mostly deals with them but it can be demoralizing.[/quote]
Heh, wondering if I wrote this in my sleep. My stats, timelines and conditions are similar.

I’m holding out for reaching the retiree health insurance threshold to see how things look. I think there will be something extraordinarily freeing about making it there and knowing I can walk away any time.

And perhaps the conditions will improve by the time I get to that point. A lot can change in 15 years. [/quote]
