Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
We reached FI a number of years ago, but I still work part time for two reasons:
1) I enjoy the work on a part time basis
2) No matter what Firecalc and all of the other calculators say, I still have this nagging worry in the back of my head...what if something goes wrong?
What I have not been able to overcome is the concept of LBYM. We can afford to spend a lot more than we do, but I can't bring myself to spend money on things that just don't make financial sense to me...like fancy restaurants, expensive hotel rooms, and other high end luxury items. I suspect we will leave a large sum to charity because of this, but it's hard to change a lifetime of LBYM just because you don't really need to anymore.
