]]> https://www.prep4usmle.com/forum/thread/216391/ Violent crime, PTSD, burnout Violent crime, PTSD, burnout: Please help me find a way out Earlier this year, I was the victim of a violent crime. https://www.prep4usmle.com/forum/thread/216389/ Thu, 12 Jun 2025 11:16:14 GMT https://www.prep4usmle.com/topic/details/216389/ Earlier this year, I was the victim of a violent crime. I’m mostly healed physically but have some permanent damage—not totally disabling, but daily life is harder now. I’m still in therapy for PTSD, and am told my exhaustion is a symptom of that. I'm now embroiled in a criminal case and civil lawsuit that are very stressful and time consuming. I also recently broke up with my long-term partner, and have seriously ill (and beloved) dog who requires a lot of care and will for at least a few months. I have used up all my FMLA so more time off is not an option. Everything in my house and on my property is in a state of neglect because I’m so limited in what I can do.

I’m 58 and have what is for me a really good WFH job. With my particular resume and at my age, I will never find another one with such good work-life balance plus decent pay and benefits. However, even before all this happened, I was well and truly 100% burned out and now I have all this additional stress and work. I don’t see how I can do it. I’m basically already quiet quitting and even that feels unbearable.

I have $770K invested, plus a paid-off home worth conservatively $300K, possibly up to $375K. No debt. No big expenses expected, although as I have learned, anything can happen at any time. I track my expenses and over the last six years I have never exceeded $24K although this year will be quite a bit higher. I will get $23K/year in SS at age 70 if I quit now (this is the correct amount based on my earning history with no more income after this year).

The consensus of the various FIRE calculators is that I can spend a minimum of $37K a year—more in up years if following a VPW strategy, which is fine because I don't need to leave anyone money.

This seems pretty simple on paper but there are a few aspects that are holding me back:

1) ACA plans in my state have geographically limited provider networks and since I live in a rural area, the network is not great. I’ve been a pretty heavy user of medical services and prefer to go to the big city in the next state over for specialist care. This will no longer be possible. I thought that if something really bad happens, like I get cancer or need an orthopedic surgery, I can just “move” to the neighboring state for the duration and get on their ACA. Otherwise, I don’t know. This is my biggest concern.

2) I worry about paying for care in old age. I would love to work longer just to give myself peace of mind about this, but I’m so exhausted.

3) I rarely ever read of anyone voluntarily retiring on such a low amount. I find this aspect of the decision really perplexing and it makes me question my own judgment. I know all that matters is how much I spend, but maybe I'm in a uniquely great position right now and I will be locking myself into it financially if I quit.

4) Related to the above, if I ever want to move, it will be pretty hard to find a home as nice as this one for this same amount of money.

I know I’m lucky to have this job and if I could find a way to cope it would be good for me to stay. And everyone keeps telling me not to make any big decisions right now. What I really want in my heart of hearts is to be convinced that it’s fine to quit and everything will be okay.
