    It's the old saying "working a job you don't like, to make money you don't have, to buy thing you don't need".
    I was making 50K a year (not even that much, thinking of it), but I would wake up at 4:30 AM, see the wife 45 min, be at work by 6:30 AM, never back at home before 7PM, falling asleep by 9PM at the latest...
    Commute, traffic, driving out of state, on call on the weekends and, being on salary, same money no matter how much you work.

    Now I work literally two blocks from home, 4 days a week, start at 9:30AM.
    Yeah, I will have to cut here and there, but my stress level will benefit A LOT!

    Good for you. I envy folks that can walk a way from stable higher paying job. I myself am trying to get fired so no one calls me a quitter. Seriously, I admire your choice.

    Well, after spending eleven years there, starting out under a female manager (can you say CUNT?) and working may way up to service manager, I don't think anybody could really call me a quitter...Thank you all for the support and Hi-Fives!

    Do not underestimate the impact that stress has on your health and close relationships. 6 months after my life change and finally getting back to feeling like myself and I'm told it's night and day to be around me.

    Congrats, find what you love doing and you will never work a day in your life.
    My life working is only preparation for my life as a hermit.
