rob.i 26 Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 You done right mate Id id the same at 45 am 51 shouldve done it earlier worked silly hours for 30 years now slowed down taking time to chill out more its not what you gain financially its what you lose missing out on other stuff as they say no pockets in shrouds Quote Link to post Share on other sites
higgins 75 Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 i'm sure you've done the right thing for your circumstances and wish you all the best!I' m considering a similar thing as i value my time above any job unless it can financially support the lifestyle i seek.No matter what job you do you can never earn enough to free yourself,free time is a better quality of life,but money still has to be earned to support the free time,a compromise which is well balanced seems to be the answer for most people and as long as you are happy with your cimcunstances that's all that matters, Higgins Quote Link to post Share on other sites
