If you could retire today, what net worth would make you comfortable enough to never need a paycheck again?

What's your number, and why?

I'm 46 and have spent more than two decades building my career. I believed in pushing through difficult phases, working harder, and staying loyal to the organization.

But sometimes things don't just become difficult—they become toxic.

For me, the signs were:

• Constant criticism with little or no support
• Public questioning of capabilities and contribution
• Spending all my energy surviving the day instead of creating value
• Realizing that my self-worth was becoming tied to manager's opinion

There is a difference between running away from challenges and walking away from sustained toxicity. Decided to quit the 60L job.

Anybody else having gone through this situation ?
