$1.25M Salary, No Passion Left: Stuck in a Golden Cage! 😩💸
I'm a 46-year-old woman, married with two kids, living in New York. For the past 20 years, I've climbed the ladder at a global corporation and now lead a division of over 250 people. On paper, I have it all—an impressive title and a total compensation of over $1.25 million a year.
But here's the truth: I've lost all passion for my work. Every weekend, I wake up anxious, dreading the problems waiting for me on Monday. The stress is constant, and I'm simply not fulfilled anymore.
The money is great, but my lifestyle has grown with it—huge mortgage, kids in private school, and not much savings. If I leave, I risk uprooting my family and losing everything we've built. But staying feels unbearable.
Has anyone else felt trapped by their own success? I’m desperate for advice. What would you do in my shoes? 😔
