Upcoming ER is becoming "too real" and I'm driving myself crazy with worry.
Quick facts:
I've been killing myself over this all weekend and am seriously considering the telecommute gig. I would have 10 extra hours of "me time" a week by giving up the commute. Or, I could view it as losing 50 hours of "me time" vs ER !
I need to be saved from myself !!!
Quick facts:
- Clearing out the "big house" and doing some minor repairs before listing for sale; have already purchased smaller home.
- RIF is approved but notice not yet recieved; theoretically I can get my notice at any time and would be unemployed 2 months later. 1 year severance.
- FIDO gives me 90% chance of portfolio lasting to 91 (95% to 85) with current (market high) portfolio
- Firecalc gives me 100% success using 92% of my current market high portfolio
- Budget is conservative at 91k which includes 30k for healthcare costs, 4k for travel, and 2k for "buying stuff" annually.
- I have an opportunity to stay with megacorp and w*rk from home at my current salary. I could probably stick it out another two years doing this. Would be equivalent to 3 years salary if I count bonuses.
- Would give up severance and would give up access to megacorp unsubsidized healthcare. DH and I both have pre-existing conditions, so if Obamacare is repealed access to megacorp HI is important.
- I am a worry wart, so I am leaning towards sticking it out 2 more years. I figure at worst I'm ER'd at age 52 and I have $175k extra to spend later on.
- OTOH while the BS bucket has been fairly light lately it can get very heavy again soon. I break even dollarwise vs Severance after about 9 months, so I always have the "I quit" option, but I'd give up unemployment and potential HI access.
