I never thought I'd be writing this, but here I am, staring at a $1.5 million inheritance and feeling more confused than ever. My wife and I are both 36, juggling demanding jobs and raising our 4-year-old son. Our mortgage is manageable, cars are paid off, and we've been pretty disciplined with our Roths and investments. On paper, things look great. But here's the twist: despite this windfall, I'm burned out from my job and dream of being a stay-at-home dad. My wife, a contract nurse, pulls in a solid income but has no 401k option. Our expenses could drop if I quit, but the thought of stepping away from work terrifies me. What if I make the wrong move and jeopardize our future? I feel stuck between wanting to build generational wealth and fearing I'll mess it all up. Has anyone else faced this kind of crossroads? How did you decide what to do next? Any advice would mean the world right now. 🙏 #CareerChange #FinancialPlanning #WorkLifeBalance #JobCareer
