Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I keep wondering what magic savings number would actually let me walk away from work, and I have no real target
• I actually hit the number I said I needed, and instead of feeling free I just keep telling myself "one more year to be safe"
• When I picture being free of work it’s just a vague “a lot of money”
• The numbers say I could probably walk away, but I keep telling myself just one more year to be safe
• I keep nudging my "enough" number higher every time I get close to it, telling myself it’s just to be safe
