Burned out - considering time off or lower paid job
I am 49 and husband is 53. We have about about $5MM + $1.5MM in home equity. Husband earns about $550k/year with good job security and potential to make significant more. I make about $360k/year in a demanding job with little additional upside. I am totally burned out in my job and am thinking of making a change. One option is to resign at the end of the year after I receive my annual bonus and take time off. We have 3 teens in high school and middle school. Second option is to look for a job that will hopefully be better work life balance. For instance, I was looking at a nonprofit job that pays about $150k and is fully remote. We live in a high cost area so expenses are about $25k/month. I would like to hear from others who have faced a similar decision and how it turned out. Thanks!
