I am wondering if others are in a similar situation... mostly feeling financially adrift in setting of doing well.
I am several years out of residency with all my student loans paid off and a solo private practice that is going well--low overhead, no employees, and essentially no marginal costs. I have a good amount in retirement--if anything too much. I save more money than I spend. I own a small condo with my partner (who also works) with no plans for kids. The mortgage rate and payments are so low I feel little reason to pay this off sooner. We are not cut out to own a house (we appreciate HOA to take care of things). We travel frequently. I probably will inherit a decent amount. I am cutting back on my work hours to less than 40/week. I like that amount of work and plan to continue doing it.
I guess, I am moving towards partial retirement (doing only the type of work I want to do at the amount I want), but it feels really odd to be talking about that in my 30's. Many of my peers seem so driven and overworked, even some who are much older than me.
Are others in the same situation? I find this is hard/impossible to talk about with others if they are no in a similar situation.
