Hey folks, I'm 38, got a 8Cr net worth, married with kids, and feeling totally burned out from my career. My money came from inheritance, but my parents made me work in corporate jobs since I was 22. So working has become a big part of my identity. It feels good to earn my own money, even if I don't need it.
But now that I'm a father, I'm not getting the same satisfaction. The whole flying to Mumbai for client meetings and fancy dinners was cool before, but now I'd rather be at home watching cartoons with my kids. The idea of selling my time for money just doesn't sit well with me anymore. Feels like I'm missing out on family time for no real reason.
I'm good at what I do, and stepping away would mean losing touch with my field and contacts. But honestly, I'm starting to not care about that. It's a weird place to be in where I don't need the money but feel like I need the work to stay connected and not get bored. Also, how would my kids feel about their dad not working.
Anyone else been through this? How did you handle it?
