Life is, or can be, about much more than work. You could be at mid-life crisis, it’s real and you’re exactly the right age.

Exercise, make sure your needs (quality time, intellectual engagement, emotional connections, nutritional, family quality) are being addressed. If you’re burnt out, take time for you. As codegeek wrote, consider volunteering. Making a meaningful difference, even small ways, to others is way more important than making bank once you’re adequately set.

If you can live a reasonable quality life without employment for the rest of your days, you’ve hit the lottery. Be totally psyched, and use your freedom. Wish I was in your shoes.
