Why wouldn't you do that now? You think sacrificing for a company, accepting responsibility, would be beneficial? Most do that for the money, but you achieved financial stability anyway. Do you think you'd like to have a challenge and see how far you could go? At what cost? I know people that lost their family. I know another you developed a hearth condition thanks to work induced stress. They get to retirement, and they don't have anything to do, because they didn't developed anything they'd like to do before, their focus was their job, but now their job is over.
