Whats the end game? To have enough to retire first?

Yeah basically. I'm at the point now where if I quit or got fired I could pursue a part-time job I'd enjoy and could live comfortably, but when I run the numbers in my spreadsheets it shows that just working in my current job even an extra year or two would mean a shitload more wealth later in life. So that means I either quit and do part-time now and retire at 55 years old, or I work five years at my current job, do the part-time for 5-6 years, then retire at 43 years old.

I only work 40-45 hours a week but I'm still pretty burnt out on week nights. I've been obsessed with saving so much money because I've had coworkers that work 60+ hours a week and live paycheck to paycheck, it's fucking brutal. I do not want to end up in their position where they're reliant on an employer. I have a shitload of respect for those workers though, especially the blue collar workers, I don't know how they do it
