I have been reading this forum for a while now. Thanks for all the great info.
I am in my early-fifties and counting down to hopefully ER-ing next year. My husband may continue to work full or part time, he hasn’t decided. We have done FIRE calculators both on FIRE-CALC and on other sites, as well as our own spreadsheets, and we feel we can have a good, happy and hoping healthy retirement with what our projected income will be. House is paid off and we are planning to downsize. We don’t have pensions or healthcare so the healthcare expense may keep my husband working longer so we have that coverage….we are waiting to see how affordable the AHA is...
My dilemma is my last year of work. I am presently very unhappy at my current middle management position, due to many changes that have occurred in the last year. I have tried to adapt but I can’t seem to accept the direction or (lack of it) that my company is pursuing, and the negative impact on my position as a result of the changes. My stress level is not good, the job is killing my ability to get a good night’s sleep, consistently. This is the toughest part, either going to work on a partial night’s sleep or taking some medicine to get the full night’s sleep. I keep thinking it’s not worth it to stay here for another year.
So even though I am about 12 months out from RE, I have started looking for a job and am actively interviewing. I am looking to move to a new job that I know I will probably leave in 12 months. Having worked in various megacorps for 25+ years, it’s hard to make the move knowing I will leave after such a short time. I have always stayed several years prior to moving on, but now I am considering doing something that I would never have done in the past. I am having “Guilt” before I even have a job offer!! I think it is “old school” mentality—now corporations dump people on less than 24 hour notice but I am worried about the thought of leaving after giving only a solid 12 month stint to a company.
So I would love to hear from others on this dilemma. I think to stay at the current job where stress is hurting me physically has long term consequences, but my sense of guilt tells me it’s wrong to go to a job knowing I wouldn’t stay more than 12 months.
What do you think? Has anyone else dealt with a similar situation?
