[quote=Anonymous]Step one is to come to grips with the fact that you have to make a choice. The work you do that you claim you hate also pays for the lifestyle you seem to enjoy. You cannot have both. Some of the judgmental tone you are seeing on this thread is from people who are reading into your post a bit of a martyr complex. If you really hate the work more than the lifestyle if affords then come to grips with the fact that you can't have one without the other. Step two (if you really want to make a change) is make a budget and figure out which things you currently afford that you are willing to trade-off for a job you don't hate. Be realistic and involve your spouse and (if they are old enough) engage your kids. I know partners whose spouses are cool with not seeing them if the Ritz vacations in Grand Cayman keep coming. Do you have public school options? Are you willing to use them? Step three is to take that budget and find a job making what you need to make. [/quote]
