My wife and I are both in our early 40s, living in a high-cost city, pulling in a combined $400k a year. Our home is paid off, our 401ks and Roth IRAs are maxed, and we’ve got a healthy $1.5 million stashed away. On paper, it sounds like we’re living the dream, right? But here’s the kicker: our jobs are so intense, we barely have time to breathe, let alone enjoy what we’ve built. We sold our rental property because it was more hassle than it was worth, and now we’re funneling our $10-13k monthly surplus into index funds. But I can’t help but wonder—are we missing something? Is there a smarter way to set ourselves up for retirement at 55, or is this just the hamster wheel with a nicer view? Honestly, I’m feeling a bit lost. Has anyone else been here? What would you do with the extra cash—and the stress? I’d love to hear your thoughts. 😅 #CareerPlanning #RetirementGoals #WorkLifeBalance #JobCareer
