Your portfolio should generate a large portion of that, and your large amount of savings should make up the rest. In the meantime, are there ways you can make your current job work for you?

If you don’t have it in you to stay at your current job as it is,

Here are some things to try :

1. Drop to part-time work. One friend of mine (a software engineer) only works Wednesday-Friday. Could you figure out a schedule that gives you room for longer weekend trips?

2. Join a different team. Taking on a new role might make things a bit more interesting and give you new people to work with.

3. Change the scenery. If you can work from home more often, it might make all the difference to how you feel about work. Whether working from coffee shops or an Airbnb in Santiago, Chile, it could be helpful to change things up without changing jobs.

4. If those don’t work, change jobs. You have the skills, experience, and salary– but your job is unfulfilling. It’s possible that you can find a job you really love for the next 2-3 years until you hit your FI number.

You have enough of a cushion to take some risks and design a life that works for you without sticking out a less-than-ideal lifestyle that burns you out. It is almost never worth it to ‘stick it out’ if your job is affecting your mental health, but there are steps you can take to make a change and find a more fulfilling, engaging role.
