28-Year-Old Engineer Hits $300k Net Worth😫
Hey everyone, I’m a 28-year-old woman working in engineering, and I just hit a $300k net worth milestone. My parents are immigrants who taught me to be frugal, and I worked hard through college, graduating debt-free. I’ve always been a saver, bought a townhouse during the pandemic, and have been steadily climbing the salary ladder—now making $130k a year.
But lately, work has been overwhelming. Office politics are draining, and I’m constantly stressed about keeping up with expectations. I barely have time for myself, and I’m starting to question if it’s too early to take a year off to travel or recharge. My dream is to retire by 55, but I worry a sabbatical could derail my progress. Has anyone else felt this lost after reaching a big goal? I’d love your advice on how to handle burnout and whether a gap year is a terrible idea. 🙏
