I’ll let you know when it happens. 😅 I’m solidly in OMY syndrome.

I think I’ll stop in the next year or three, but that might just be the one more year syndrome talking.

Why I think I’ll do it:

  • Decreasing benefit to additional savings, I’m looking for more buffer, not lifestyle creep
  • Less interest and satisfaction with work — as I’ve climbed the ladder it’s become more politics and fiefdoms, it’s where the money is but not what I enjoy
  • I’d like to spend more time with my kids as they get out of toddlerhood, I work a lot and have to travel several times a year, it’s not the best balance and I doubt I’ll look back and wish I spent less time with my kids
