Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
May be the wrong place to ask but we find ourselves:
- FI (we could live on 2/3rds of projected income if needed),
- tired of my job on one hand,
- but I recognize it's a very good paying job that I'm very lucky to have and it still has it's good days,
- and I'd probably be smart to stay with it and build more of a FI cushion (although I don't know where I'd call it enough, 150%, 200%, more?) as who knows what investment returns will be like and/or where taxes and healthcare will go in the next 40 odd years.
Edit: If I wasn't married, I could quit tomorrow without hesitation. Nothing is certain but I want to know with at least 95% confidence that DW will never have to worry about $. Least I can do after she's put up with me for all these years...
This is not a 'one more day/year' question. I never stopped to think about it, but obviously it was easier to go to work every day when I wasn't even close to FI. I suspect you'll tell me "I'll know when, it will be when you just can't stand the job anymore." But for those of you who are FI and still working, any advice on how to keep your head in the game (at work)?
