<prompt> Human: Im asking for a friend of mine. He is in his early 50s if he retires in June of 2018, his pension will be around 5100, if he waits another 3 years it will be around 6100. Debt free, but has a child in college. The thing is, he really really dislikes his job and its affecting his health. Any advice I can pass on to him?  <response>: We dont know what his budget is, naively it sounds like he might wanna stick it out til graduation, or just find a less stressful job until graduation. It sounds like he can leave, but it doesnt sound like he should stop working altogether. Anyway he needs to answer an important question. How much would he pay not to go to this particular workplace tomorrow? 12000 a year? Its not a trick question, and its not meant to convince him to stay.
