I'm 61 and about to take the plunge, or at least a half-way plunge. Next week I plan to ask my boss to transition my role to a 3-day a week schedule. It's my way to then move to full retirement perhaps at the end of the year.
What I need to come to grips with is walking away from a high paying job. My whole life has been about moving up and making more in my career. I recently got my 2022 comp package so I'm trying to wrap my head around voluntarily giving up the money.
Anyone else been here? How did you deal mentally/emotionally with walking way from the money?
