I’m not sure where to begin, but here goes. I’m a professional woman with 26 years at a major corporation. I’ve enjoyed a modest success in my career; truthfully much more so than I ever expected. My husband and I are very financially secure and I don’t need to work, however I’m a poster child for the “golden handcuffs”…bored with the job
AHA! the key reason emerges...
but I make a very nice salary that I am loathe to give up. I’ve been thinking of early retirement for several months but somehow I can’t reconcile myself with the emotion of the thing.
normal
...mostly they are the “I can’t wait to get the hell outta here!!!” types who are enjoying themselves immensely. I envy them.
that was me!
For some reason, the decision to retire is one of the most difficult I have ever had to make. What the heck
. I’m sick of my job, so why can’t I let go?
a suggestion...grab a sheet of paper or open a text file, and make 2 columns..."Why I want to and can retire" for the PROS and "Why I feel I can't retire" for the CONS. do a few entries each day, and read it over a few weeks(months) later. it will be very illuminating.
Just exactly who WILL I be once retired?
a successful professional who is now enjoying the fruits...
Does anyone understand this, or perhaps had a similar feeling?
only for a few months, but i got over it.
