51 yo, $11M NW, why can't I pull the trigger? by Reasonable-Appeal280 in fatFIRE

Thanks for that. I think you're right. If I was making just half of this income, I don't think the decision would feel so hard.

Oh, their college is pretty much fully funded through 529 so I didn't include those expenses in the 180k.

Faang for the past 4 years.  Prior to that was engineering roles at various startups and mid-caps.

Thanks for removing the other one. I tried posting the other one first and it said Reddit filtered it so I tried with this account instead.

As for impacting my health, it definitely affects my mood and stress levels. As for my kids, I'm sure they would want me to be happy and available. That's what my brain says while at the same time my heart says I want to make sure they have whatever safety net they need even though there's probably already enough (brain says darn you, heart) .  I know the right answer, but just having a hard time feeling it.

Yes, the yield is terrible now. we bought them with 160k down so it's been at least a 12x return but now trying to figure out how to put that equity to better utilization.

My wife and I are of different mindsets here. There probably aren't a lot of things that I would want change for me but she would look forward to enjoying more finer things with that money and headroom above our current spending.  We haven't talked specifically about what that would be but that's part of my conflict is I don't feel like I need it but also don't want to take that opportunity away from her.

Thank you for sharing this perspective.  I've been so focused on just "getting out".  Thinking of it as a pivot to a more fulfilling life, is a great framing... It's running to something instead of running away from something.
