I'm in my late-30s and have am making a huge income in Seattle but want to retire now - should I stick it out or pull the plug?
Briefly

A Reddit user faces a dilemma between working a few more years for millions versus retiring now with $5.5 million. He has a supportive wife earning $200,000 and a healthy financial plan, including stock possibilities and inheritances. While he yearns for more family time, hobbies, and a stress-free life over potential future wealth, he weighs the importance of financial stability against personal happiness. His wife’s income could support their family, making the choice to retire early seem feasible, albeit daunting.
The original poster is contemplating whether to continue working for additional millions or retire early to spend quality time with family, amidst existing financial security.
Having a net worth of $5.5 million and an additional $1 million in stock expected annually poses the question: is financial gain worth more than personal happiness?
