this is the part that got me.They would be highly remunerative opportunities, but I can already sense feelings of dread over even thinking about taking any of them.
many people have that feeling of dread either Sunday night or driving on the way to work or whatever. They keep slogging until they can find something better. You don't have to. You have 30X, your wife works, you have medical. You can call it quits. Why take on projects just because there's plenty of work to be done. There always will be.
But your challenge is to find something to retire TO, rather than just something to retire FROM.
We work to live, we shouldn't live to work.
At least do something you enjoy more, even if it's less profitable. Or find other volunteer opportunities that are more fulfilling.
I also think another challenge could be you'll be retired for the next several years but your wife won't. Sometimes that's challenging for couples. You'll have to navigate that.
Let us know how retirement goes! And be sure to post under Miriam2's post: Retirement Class of 2024!
