10. You find yourself drawn to articles with names like "Signs You Need to Immediately Retire".
11. You change the projection assumptions to bring your portfolio in line with the 95% probable success line.
12. You hang out in the "Young dreamers" section of early-retirement.org forums.

AND
13. You tell your boss that you are unhappy with his performance because he persists in giving you better performance ratings than you deserve. Therefore you have decided you can take the undeserved bonuses no longer and are tendering your resignation as of the last day of the year.

I was always amazed at the post counts some of our members accumulated at work. Wish I had a job or leadership team that would have allowed that

9 Signs You Need To Retire Immediately

I'll add my own, which I plan to do myself starting this November...

You carry a copy of your resignation letter with you to work each day, ready to sign and turn in if the BS bucket overflows that day.

Write the letter you wish you could write. Then write the letter you should write. Burn the first. Send the second.

For me it's #7. I also liked to fantasize getting in my car, driving toward work, then keep on driving. That would put me on the Jersey Shore in about 3 hours.
