*Sigh* the argument that one is best to stay at the stressful but better paying job because nonsense and stress are found at almost all jobs, is something I wish I understood more thoroughly three years ago. (Though It's not 'quite' that simple.)
Had a very aggressive career early on that paid very well but I was completely exhausted (and other factors). So I switched to something that pays less but at least allowed me to come home every night, and just bide my time while my savings grew.
Unfortunately this position ended up having its own set of nonsense that many here can relate to and understand. And now that this w*rkplace is quickly imploding I am back to trying to see just how far off I am at finally just saying "forget this".
-Now i'm 30 years old.
-600K in indexed equities.
-No kids and don't want any.
-No dept.
-Expenses are about 25K / yr (tracked very carefully)
FIRECalc and ******** both give me results above 80%. But I know that 600K simply isn't quite there.
I feel so very close to the sweet spot, the event horizon of finances, but I just struggle at the notion of going through this charade of switching jobs all over again.
