Should I quit my high paying job?

I live in Massachusetts and make a good salary. My wife doesn’t work so she’s on my employer’s health insurance plan. We have no kids or debt besides mortgage. I’m burnt out.

I live in Massachusetts and make a good salary. My wife doesn’t work so she’s on my employer’s health insurance plan. We have no kids or debt besides mortgage.

I’m burnt out. I can go on here, but I’ll leave it at that.

I’m 33 and I’ve never not worked since I was 10 years old and had a paper route. I just want like a 3-month sabbatical.

I see posts all the time about just quitting and giving your boss the finger, but how do you manage the following concerns:

  • knowing there’s always a possible economic crash around the corner
  • hemorrhaging cash from savings (have 1 year saved)
  • if American, losing health insurance
  • Not being able to get another job in a bad market

I really want to walk off the cliff, I know it’s not the best financial decision, but please give me a reason to. I just need a break from this hamster wheel bullshit.
