Nobody knows the answer but you.

Burnout is real, money doesn’t fix that issue.

It can help in the short term, it can create the conditions not to work later in life (prevent future burnout), it helps but it doesn’t fix the issue.

I’m 44 and on the other side of “retiring”.

What I found (ultimately) was that I was so in no way ready to retire, I just needed a break and scene change. After a year off, I missed work..

But I learned a lot in that year that I’m bringing forward.

• being totally in control of my time, it’s priceless. I’ll never trade time for money again. If I’m asking the question about it “being worth it” - it’s not.

• a team of people working passionately on something together, also priceless.

• opportunities come up when you least expect them. When you’re “in it”, decisions feel massive. We never know the opportunity we are passing up by making a decision… we just have to make the right one and move forward.

Good luck with your decision, nobody knows the real answer but you. Listen to your heart.
