I was underpaid. Now my skills have atrophied to match my low pay. Only about 17 years until I can "retire". I'll probably end up working at Walmart in retirement anyways.

Hate to say it, but this fits me a lot right now (sans the family part). I really need to skill-up and start looking for a new gig.
