Facing Early Retirement Fears: Is My Net Worth Enough? 😰💸

I've been grinding away in the corporate world for decades, and lately, the stress is really getting to me. Office politics, endless meetings, and constant pressure to outperform have left me feeling drained. I'm 54, single, and have no kids. I have a military pension of $2,400 a month, about $1 million in cash, and $500k in home equity (though neither house is paid off yet). I'm planning to sell both soon as part of some big life changes. Despite what looks like a solid financial foundation, I can't shake the anxiety about retiring early. I see others with even more saved up who are still afraid to take the leap. The recent loss of a close friend at 51 really hit me—he never got to enjoy retirement. It makes me wonder if I'm overthinking things and missing out on life. Have any of you faced this crossroads? How did you decide it was time to walk away from the grind? I could really use some advice from those who've been here before. 🙏 #EarlyRetirement #WorkplaceStress #FinancialPlanning #JobCareer #Career
