I plan to take a much more junior role but in something slightly different to what I currently do so that there is room to grow. The question on my mind is when to make the jump. Getting to 100% of the figure I want for retirement would be very conservative because I will still save money in the less stressful phase of my life (will still take advantage of employer matching pension contributions etc.) plus two decades-ish of investment returns. On the other hand, putting more in the pot now provides more flexibility/comfort later
Seems like a personal decision.
Do you have a Hobby or Interest outside of work that you would like to develop and could find your second act. Or do you love what you do and Want to keep doing it?
My second thought, the market and upcoming recession are soooo wonky right night, I would probably err on the side of caution.
Third though the FIRE bowl might be interesting to you:)
