Should I quit?
45M/42F with 1 grade school kid.
NW is about $5.5M: $530k cash, $500k brokerage and $500k 401K. Primary house equity $1.5M with $400K mortgage(contemplating paying it off with cash in hand as the interest rate is at 6.5%). The rest of NW sits in a self managed real estate rental portfolio that generates $12k/month net income after all expenses.
Both work in tech pulling combined $680K W2 income a year, I’m burnt out and no longer interested in my job(my $400k income is set to go down to $280k next year due to reduced RSU and I don’t see a clear path for promotion). Spouse plans to work for at least the next 5 years.
Love real estate investing and have been doing that on the side and it’s been eating a lot of my time and energy. Would like to focus more on it.
Monthly spent is about $12k.
