After getting my tax bill this year and discussing it with my CPA it appears that there is no longer any point to maintaining my W-2 job where I am paying social security, medicare, medicaid etc. and having to get pushed into a higher bracket. Weekday fishing on the horizon for next year when I turn 55. I guess there comes a point of diminishing returns for continuing to work. In a way this may be a blessing in disguise as I was on the fence anyway.
