"Perfectly good positions" are rare and hard to come by, in my experience, I would value that; if you don't mind getting up on Monday mornings, that's a hard thing to give up especially with the culture telling you your are in the game, so to speak.....No major fears, just my conservative upbringing causing me to wonder if I'm being selfish by leaving a perfectly good position at a young age. My parents never saved a dime, and there were some tight times as a kid. I'd probably worry about running out of money, even if I had $100MM socked away!....
I relate to the parent thing, it took a lot of time just to give myself permission to buy furniture. I think it is perfectly rational to worry about running out of money, or that the money may become worthless, but what about today?
