[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My last kid is headed for college. I'm so burned out with work, and I've topped out professionally so it's just a long slog from here til retirement. [b]Can't afford to quit. [/b]Can't think of anything I'd rather do to pay the bills. Hobbies leave me cold. I'm spending work time looking at cheap houses I could afford right now and fantasizing about dumb ways to support myself like, I dunno, breeding border collies or making artisanal jam. I don't actually want to do either of those things; I know that intellectually. But right now it feels like endless dog shit, or a perpetually sticky kitchen, and living on rice and beans would be better than what I have right now. Did you make a change in a similarly constrained life? [/quote] Fix that part first. Quit wasting money. And you cannot support your lavish lifestyle on puppies and jam. [/quote] I'm so glad you chimed in... It's all clear now! [/quote]
