Company went public last year. Got all my ducks in a row. Know what we're spending. Have been living within our retirement budget (which only required minor adjustments) for several months. Moved to a lower tax state, and am now diversifying on schedule. Really, I could quit today. But for the rest of the year, every month I've got $5-figures worth of shares vesting, and it just seems unwise to walk away from that. It's going to provide us with a nice bump in either annual spending or safety, and I'll probably never reach that kind of income level again.
So I'm sticking with it for now... Work isn't bad. A lot of it is interesting. Some people are annoying. All pretty much par for the course. I just want to be doing other things than what I'm being paid for.
Somehow because it's so close, it seems that much more painful to have to keep w*rking. Little annoyances bug me more, not less.
I wish I could just hit fast-forward and wake up in December...
