It's a great problem to have. I think many of us here are in a similar position. Nice comfy jobs, well paid with no chance of promotion. I've been at mine for over a decade. I know it's going to be bad when its over, however there is also the real possibility of this position lasting until I retire.

I think you may be under estimating luck. Maybe you are not underemployed, maybe you are overly lucky?

If that is the case, then let it ride!

Ultimately that's close to what I'm doing! Not jumping ship until something finds my way that is definitely better.

I think I "want to be fired" because it would take some of the stress of the decision away from me. My girlfriend makes slightly more than me now - even though years ago I made about twice as her - and I admit I feel some pressure to keep up.
