Quitting My Job at 39—Wife Panicking Over Our Future! 😱💼

I’m 39 and seriously considering retiring from my day job this spring. Honestly, I’m just burned out from years of mindless button-pushing and office politics. My wife, who earns over $200k a year and actually enjoys her work (just not full-time), is getting cold feet about my decision. She’s worried about our future and thinks I should just find another job instead of stepping away. Financially, we’re in a good spot: $1.3 million in stocks, $200k in cash, and about $1 million in real estate, with $85k a year coming in from rentals. Our two kids are healthy and in school, and both sets of parents are financially secure. Still, my wife’s anxiety is making me second-guess myself. Am I making a huge mistake by wanting to quit now? Or is she worrying for nothing? I’d love to hear your thoughts and advice—feeling pretty lost right now. 🤔💬 #CareerChange #RetirementPlanning #WorkLifeBalance #JobCareer
