How I Learn to Stop Worrying and quit my job, my Mr. 1500 with Budgets are sexy.com.

I left my job about four months ago and haven't regretted it a bit.

My career didn't even last 20 years. I started my first real job in January of

1998 and my last day was April 13th of 2017. Leaving wasn't an easy decision. I have money security issues and I suffered

from an acute case of one more dollar syndrome, the first cousin of one more year syndrome.

When I started my journey to Financial Freedom way back on January 1st of 2013, I figured I would need about a million to quit, $40,000 per year per the 4% rule.

When I left, I had almost 1.4 million saved up and this didn't include 400,000 in home equity.

Despite the big nest egg, picking up the phone to tell my boss the bad news was one of the most difficult calls I've ever made.

Over four months later, I'm still adjusting, but life is pretty great.

How I learned to stop worrying about money and quit my job. The numbers part of retirement is easy.

Figure out your annual spending and stock away enough to last a lifetime.
