It's not just the pay...Killer benefits make a world of difference. Your 401k/IRA can be used for trading, but I would be very careful...Blood money.
I wanted to retire in my late 40's. My wife would have nothing of it. The main thing that was holding me back was healthcare. But since the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), you can handle millions of dollars worth of bills from medical issues. Sheeee...Quit little secret people don't talk about. Doctors try to not take Obamacare people. In CA they have like up to 30 days to pay their bills...They don't. You'll get put on a list a year out, for specialist. Each state is different concerning medical...Know what you face first. Network with people (in your state) who are on their own with medical...Talk to a health insurance agent where you are, or where you want to be.
A reduction in pay, less hours and keeping most of the benefits, would be the way to go if you could...
I have money OK. But I became a union security guard for about 10 years. The pay was bad. But I had medical, dental, eye, 401k just my working an average of 24 hours per week. They wanted to pile on more...While I tried to work as little as possible and keep those benefits.
Just saying...Look hard at benefits if/when you make the move.
