What would you do with more money? Do you know you would be significantly happier with that money, or know exactly what you would spend it on, or would it probably sit in an investment account?
What would you suggest if your friend came to you in the exact situation?
- iamjdg 12y agoThanks for the exploratory questions, they help. I would probably save it and try to "retire" that much earlier. "Retire" meaning being able to choose when and how much to work. I would not be happy with more money, but perhaps happier with the freedom it would "buy" me. Spend time with my family, pursue other interesting careers, etc. Its a light at the end of the tunnel thing. I absolutely hate my current role, but can/should I hang on (not go insane, drag myself out of bed every morning and be away 10 hrs a day from my family) for 1 more year to pocket the money and then get out of dodge. Not sure what I would tell a friend. I guess I would tell them if you are not happy, make a change. But mine is more of decision between change now to a known role without extra money or change later to an unknown role (the other role will be gone, but I will still have a role somewhere in the company) with the extra money.
