This is my life except I’m probably about 12 years older:
Sales and delivery pressure ✔️
Rental properties ✔️
Caring for mother with dementia ✔️
Not really enjoying work ✔️
Looking to see when I can retire ✔️
Luckily I have a decent nest egg but I also have high schoolers that I need to get through college.
I don’t have answers; just empathy 🥺
I feel you - frustrated and totally exhausted. Part of a practice that has consistently lost leadership and the remaining 1 or 2 MDs are also looking out. Getting added to Opportunities to make sales numbers feels like begging for favors. Unfortunately still a year to go for rhe leadership rewards vest. New KPi of Craft and overall AMS sales feels like a deliberate attempt to force us out... my numbers were doubled for this year FY 25 targets. Did Julie's target number double? It just is ridiculous the amount of work I have to do to keep my head up - with a 9 year old kid who does not see me smile given i am caught up with trying to think whom to tap to find Opportunities to support and hopefully get sales to meet Her Royal Highness's expectations... Really need some breather
With your job title and past earnings, any chance to retire from the corporate rat race and enter a lower paying but still rewarding profession? I’m the same age and planning to FIRE from this corporate shit at some point but still work
Are you able to afford someone to help with property management? Does she qualify for monetary assistance from any programs like social security?
I lost my mom 3 years ago, and my job in Sept. My dad needs help and is emotionally needy. Not sure he needs to be driving. He just drains me.
You have so many things going on at once it would stress or break anyone.
You’re so stressed you’re looking to escape.
If it’s hard to stay abreast of things at work, are there other less demanding jobs?
You’re not alone.
I’m really sorry to hear about your mom. That’s an enormous emotional load on top of everything else. If you’re considering selling, maybe it’s worth also offloading some of the other stressors—even if it means making less for a while.
Here’s the question I ask myself: If I knew I only had four years left, would I still be living the way I am today? What would fulfillment actually look like?
I don’t have any answers for you, but hopefully this question or two can help you reset . Best of luck and caring for your mom. It’s the most valuable thing a child can do for their parent.
Damn, didn’t know I had a twin! I’m asking myself the same thing but I can’t take the pay-cut so that’s what’s stopping me right now.
Good luck to you. And to all of us sympathizing...
Leave if you can but realistically it’s tough to leave your current income and future prospects. Be careful what you wish for. But what’s your best alternative to your current role? Serious question.
I have found some balance after 1) identifying busy vs productive work 2) prioritizing my wellness 3) Delegate
I feel the same way, though I don’t have to care for my ailing mother. I despise the rat race and corporate ladder climbing. Not interested. My options are limited as a sole provider so still here and will be for a while. It’s the relentless pressure which is just suffocating. I’m trying to get to a point where I have sufficient resources that I can step out of the corporate world and do IC work or start something of my own (non tech consulting), and retire as soon as possible. That’s the dream, haven’t figured out how to get there yet. Probably not helpful but just know you’re not alone.
My heart goes out to you. It’s not easy to be the primary earner and the primary caretaker. And you have your own hopes and dreams beyond that. All I can say is that you only have to impress yourself, no one else. Ego-buttressing awards mean nothing in face of what life has thrown at you. That’ll require all your creativity. Faced with a similar predicament I exited the stock mkt and created two STRs in a HCoL city for stability and expenses. And I started something with friends that takes care of the creative need. Do some role playing and let your creative side take over, to solve this problem in the third person. You may just surprise yourself.
I was where you were two years ago. Outsource where you can and don’t feel bad for it. My dad is in a lovely care facility and my properties are managed by a management company. While i have less free money, I have more time on my hands.
That sounds really challenging OP 😥 it is good to get real tangible answers to thes question of ‘how can I afford life and get to live it too’? And… It’s also okay to do less when you are dealing with so much more; is there any additional support you can get in any of the areas you mentioned? Even if temporarily it could help lighten the load and create the headspace needed to figure a more permanent or lasting solution? Sending hope, compassion and good energy… there will be a new way ♥️
