[QUOTE="TinkerTanker, post: 4135399, member: 50228"] At your age the most important question is do you have the savings to do what you want to do? Do you want to just go home and sit on the couch until Jesus calls, or would you rather build toys in the garage for underprivileged kids? Are you a teacher? Do you like seeing a spark light up in someone's eyes when they're finally getting it? You need to figure out what you have, and what you want. Then start edging that direction. I worked up until this year and I did what I loved. I still have kids from years ago stopping by to tell me about something new they figured out or some new bull poop or bull head they're dealing with. I didn't love every day or week, but I loved every month, I guarantee that. Even the travel and roughhousing that my old body can't hardly take anymore. You need to get out of your [B]feelings [/B]and into your [B]head[/B]. What do you LOVE? Or do you just want to sit around with the wife and watch soap operas all day? Because I can tell you women don't wanna do that with you in the house. They can [I]*FEEL*[/I] you relaxing and they won't stand for it. "When are you going to fix my cabinet door?" "That fridge is still making that noise again, you know". "Are you about ready to take me to fill-in-the-blank so I can spend money we don't have, for things we don't need, to impress neighbors we don't even know? ARE YOU??" Pick a thing you love and angle that direction. You'll be glad you did when retirement comes. If you post up about it maybe we can help. 99% of us have been where you are, considered quitting our jobs or life in general, and came through it. (1% of us are certifiably crazy, but you could say that about any bunch of coots) [/QUOTE]
