[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Same, but it's an ongoing issue for me since I started my job.  My career goal was to graduate from law school and get a job in big law, but once I achieved that, I found I had nothing left to strive for.  I go in and out of engagement at work.  Like, I'll be all in for a few years, then I'll feel burnt out and ready to quit for a year.  [/quote]

I also was in Biglaw for close to three decades before retiring in my early 50s a decade ago.  I hated every minute of it but it became unbearable the last two or three.  Looking back, I swear I spent more time in my last couple years on retirement calculators and planners than actually working!  One day it finally and truly sunk in that if I really thought that I couldn't retire on what I had then - which I knew intellectually placed me well above the overwhelming majority of human beings on the planet - that I had a screw loose.  After that I could barely drag myself to the office and I was out the door in a matter of weeks.  [/quote]
How is retirement? Any advice for getting through the last 5- 10 years?[/quote]
