I (44) am a HS dropout out, but through a series of luck I managed end up in a decent career as a procurement manager where Ive been doing this role for 16yrs. I make 80k, 5week vacation, WFM so its not a bad deal and Ive become very good at my job that requires very little work. Problem is I work for a bunch of not very nice people and theyve worn me down over the years and Im reaching a breaking point. Im becoming a depressing hateful person and I hate it.
Problem with finding another job is no education+no current references+dont want to remain in this field+needing wfm is very unlikely for me. I just want to be a SAHP an take care of my family since I already do most aspects of it.
My partner makes 100k gross, 140k mortgage left on a 1.1mm home, 3 cars paid off, no other debt. 40k saved for kids education, 150k retirement fund, 50k savings an partner gets a 50k/yr pension. Live in a HCOL area.
I must hang on for atleast another two years to pay of the mortgage to be 100% debt free, but after that Im not sure how much I have left to hang on.
Can we do it and live comfortably on just their salary or do I man up, sacrifice my mental health and sanity for my familys future? their salarys already capped and will only see 1or2%/yr after this. they love their job an its ironclad.
