Is $2.5 Million Enough to Escape the IT Grind?

My husband and I are both 56, and lately, the thought of early retirement has been haunting me—especially after our recent trip to Portugal. The sun, the food, the freedom! But back home, I'm stuck in IT, feeling more burned out than ever. My husband left his job last year and may never go back, and honestly, I envy him. We’ve got about $2.5 million invested, not counting our paid-off house. But is that really enough for a 30-year retirement? Healthcare costs before Medicare kick in are a huge worry. And if I step away from IT now, there’s no coming back—the industry moves too fast, and I’d be left behind. How do you ever feel sure you have enough? Am I just dreaming, or is it time to leap? I’d love to hear how others have made this decision. Please, tell me I’m not alone in this anxiety! 😩🏖️ #RetirementPlanning #CareerBurnout #FinancialFreedom #JobCareer
