[Closed] ever thought about jacking it all in?

work, that is. started work in 1981, worked ever since. never claimed anything in my life. so started thinking of late, with my health and well being, if i work until retirement age, i am probably going to be too fubar to enjoy any old age retirement. so i am seriously thinking about jacking in work. no mortgage, no debt except a car, which can be paid off. house can be sold and we can move into a smaller 2 bed house, more suitable to 2 people. would give us 50k or so to bank. so, jack in work now, go on the pancrack once i am allowed, live a meager life, with more time to travel (by bike) while we a still healthy enough to do so. and come retirement age in 17 or so years, draw my old age pension like normal.

Worked on the shop floor for 20 yrs machining metal. Never a dull day, a lot of pressure not to scrap stuff but quite rewarding. Now stuck behind a desk with multiple computer screens CAD software, emails estimating jobs for 10 hrs a day. Irate customers on the phone non stop. The problem is work life balance, just can't seem to find the right balance. It's either all or nothing.
