Burned Out in My 40s: $3M Net Worth, Kids, and Ready to Quit? 😩

I'm in my late 40s, living in a high-cost city, and I've hit a crossroads. With a net worth around $3 million (including $700k in home equity), two kids in middle school, and a spouse who still plans to work, I'm seriously considering stepping away from my $500k/year corporate job. The grind is wearing me down—endless meetings, office politics, and the constant pressure to perform. Our family spends about $250k a year, so I know we’ll need to rein in some of our lifestyle habits. My wife will bring in about $60k, but I’m anxious about what life will really look like if I pull the trigger on early retirement. Has anyone else been in this situation? How did you handle the emotional and financial transition? I’d love to hear your stories and advice. I’m feeling pretty lost right now. 😔 #JobCareer #CareerTransition #EarlyRetirement
