My Dad worked his whole life and earned more than a $million from nothing, and then got severe dementia just after he retired at 70 and never really got to enjoy it.
I’m not necessarily rich, but I’m in a position where I could hypothetically “retire” now at age 40, but I’d have virtually no income for anything beyond bare necessities. This would free up my time to pursue my dream of being an author, which I don’t believe I can do with my current full-time job.
I don’t want to end up like my Dad and put off my dreams for too long, but I also know this would be hugely risky to “retire” like this, and I likely wouldn’t be successful enough as an author to make a living regardless.
I like my job in general, but every time I have a stressful day at work, I can’t stop thinking about how I technically don’t need the job.
Maybe work till 50 and then retire? Another 10 years for your accounts to grow should put you in a really good spot and still retire young enough to enjoy it
