Saving Fast, Burning Out Faster: Can I Survive Two More Years?

I’m 41, and on paper, things look great—$1.75M net worth, making more than ever, and just two years away from my financial independence goal. But here’s the catch: the harder I work, the more I feel like I’m losing myself. My performance is slipping, and I’m terrified someone will notice I’m not keeping up with the workaholics around me. Imposter syndrome is my constant companion, and every day feels like a struggle to fit into a tech culture that never really felt like home. I grew up poor, so the fear of losing everything keeps me glued to this high-paying job, even as burnout creeps in faster than my savings grow. Should I tough it out for two more years, or risk it all for a much-needed break and a shot at my passion project? If you’ve been here, I’d love to hear how you made it through. I’m honestly at a loss and could use some real advice. 😔 #CareerBurnout #FinancialIndependence #WorkplaceStruggles #JobCareer
