Greetings forum friends!
A while back we reached a milestone - and are essentially FI (barring anything crazy happening with some conservative real estate investments). Funny thing is - I'm still doing really well at mega-corp and am even likely to get a promotion soon (despite feeling like I've been slacking off). This comes with more financial incentives including company stock which vests every 6 months. As such I feel a bit confounded with re: to RE timing.
There are days that I can find ways to tolerate or even enjoy working for mega-corp; but those are few and far between. In discussion with a friend of mine - he asked me "What is 6 months worth to you?" - which I replied that I have no idea. Yet I've been pondering this a LOT the last few weeks. I can easily calculate my 6 month savings rate including stock incentive estimates from mega-corp. But I've interpreted the question to mean:
"What is 6 months of your time worth to you? And is giving that up for mega-corp incentives an equitable exchange?"
Would very much like to hear thoughts from the forum on this. Have any of you taken a crack at this calculation? Looking for perspective.
Cheers!
