Full time employment: Posting here.
I'll be 54 this summer. FC says I'm 100% to cover my expenses for 30 years without including SS.
So I gave two months notice today.
Still seems like I'm dreaming and haven't woken up yet. Feel much better, but also a little insecure. Okay, a lot insecure. Hoping I get over the second part and keep feeling better.
Loved my job, am/was very good at it, but it required all of my time. And I mean ALL of my time. To the point it started affecting my health.
They understood my reasons. Offered an extended leave of absence. I declined. Offered reduced full time ~30 hours a week. I declined. Offered to restructure some things. I declined. Offered something along the lines of "corporate advisor" and I said I would consider it if it was less than 25 hours a month.
These people aren't just my employer, they are my friends. I wouldn't mind being plugged in, keeping my skills sharp, continuing to contribute to their success, but from a distance. A very far, comfortable, and flexible distance.
But I gave my notice today.
