Just curious - is there anyone else on here currently who like me is just plain sick of their career.
I've held four very different positions in my organization, all of which many people would consider an interesting job - but I'm just sick of it all. I'm not even interested in pursuing a 5th "change of pace" position for a few more years. I just want out.
Fortunately when I have 25 years next year I'll have a COLA'd pension, health insurance benefits, a tidy sum tucked away in my TSP (in G-fund Treasuries right now). I'll be 49 & still will get SS at 62.
Most folks think I'm nuts to leave at this point as I'm at a pretty high-point salary-wise & I could continue to build up my investments. But I've run the numbers & can be done - I just won't be able to save as much after retiring & I'm still pretty young.
I just don't think it's good for my health (mental or otherwise) to stay on.
Anybody else been there (or there now)?
