Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I walked away from a $150,000 a year job with benefits worth about $50,000 a year for a retirement income of about $85,000 a year. The $85,000 a year is more than I had to spend when I was making $150,000 a year due to savings, costs of keeping a job, car, etc. I now have ALL my time to shop smart, enjoy my life and have more spendable income than I did at the high paying job.
Don't look at the salary, look at the spending budget between retiring and working.
BTW, The longer I was away from work, the more money it would take me to go back to work. At 3 years retired, there is no practical amount of money that would get me to go back to work full time. Why when I have enough to do everything I really want to do and the time to do it? If I had more money, I'd be blowing it or worrying over it in this market. How is that retirement; worrying about money in any fashion?
