Your post is interesting! Some people would have hope that they were the one qualified to make that post!
I see you are a much disciplined person. Not many people can get to where you are today at your age. You deserve a good break!
You have your own set of living standards, never up your lifestyle standards although you are able to.
I guess you are pretty tired of today’s corporate world; the inside voice tells you it’s against your own conscience.
Somehow, in today’s investment world, I feel like there are landmines all over, if not careful, may just step into one, and then lost an arm or a leg may get blown away.
Perhaps you would like to re-consider your thoughts - do it gradually.
My suggestion: Take a break, be it a few months to 1 or 2 years.
(Mind you, not many people can really afford to be off work - no work no money)
And do the things that you had very much wanted to do, try it out first and see how things go.
I am sure during this period; you will ponder over many things.
You will come back fresher.
Then sort out your next path which you want to take.
In life, sometimes we are at this juncture, not sure which way to turn.
Human beings are funny; we simply cannot have too much idle time.
Life may be quite meaningless if the resting period is too long, after all we are able-bodied people.
Also, you may not be able to adapt to your new life without work.
But don’t worry, whichever way you turn, you are pretty safe because you have a strong cash backup.
A job is just a job. Find another job, or switch line, get a much less stressed out job, no month-end targets to meet, just a salary to get by.
If not suitable, switch job again. You will find something out there which suits you.
The best is find a job where you can find time to post in this forum, thereby add more value, and we can have diversified views from across all investment fields. Hahaha, joking only…
Life is about choices. And in your situation, you have many choices, and the good thing is – you don’t have too many commitments, so less considerations.
And who knows: you may find your new path after the break.
