I've been considering myself as part of the class of 2018 for a couple years. But recently I'm not so sure I want to last that long. Firecalc says I can go now at 100%. But I'm conservative and I'd really like to stash a bit more away. The situation...
Age 47. No kids. Megacorp job with a great comp package, stock options, etc. I'd say low to medium stress right now. The problem? I'm bored with about 80% of the job and enjoy about 20%. I lead a department with a very strong management team who, with a little supervision, keep things well under control. I almost feel like I'll be wasting the next two years just coming to the office and collecting a check. I know I'd rather spend the time with my semi-retired DW and more time on the golf course, etc. I guess another thing holding me back is that I believe my current job is "the one". If I leave it, I feel like there won't be another one behind it with anything close to the comp. That shouldn't matter if I'm Fire but that's a huge mental hurdle. Sometimes I hope that I'll get the call down to HR for an exit package. But the company is strong...I don't see that coming.
Anyway...I welcome the comments, advice, kick in the pants...whatever you've got.
