I totally know what you mean. I’m feeling a bit better these days, so if you’d like to meet online to go over some trading stuff, you learn how to make money with your money.
For me, in engineering, I got to feeling similar to what you’re feeling. Status didn’t really mean anything to me, and I was making decent money, but totally hated the working for someone else and not having the freedom I wanted, or having to jump through all these hoops for some measly 4% raise.
And, the sad thing was, I was still getting the 4% raise not doing much. Was just bored out of my skull, really wanting to be much more interactive in the lives of my children.
So, I learned how to trade and then quit my job. Of course, didn’t realize Henry was having an affair and that whole dreadful saga. But, I’m feeling better these days, divorced, and things are looking up.
This morning, as I dropped my kids off in the school parking lot, I saw my 8 yr old daughter take her little brother by the hand and walk across the crosswalk. They were both in their school uniforms, matching each other, with their Hello Kitty and Superman backpacks. I was thanking God about how much I loved dropping them off at school, picking them up, volunteering for their classes, helping them with their homework, and a list of other things that I really, really loved.
Figure out what you need to live off of, how much you need to bring in, etc. I thought I would need millions to live off of, but the fact is, it’s nothing close to that. Granted, things have been a bit tight in the past year, but God has totally seen me through all of this and will continue to.
I’m sorry that it’s been so long since I talked about this in February. I’m becoming part of the living again. Let me know if you’d like some help with the trading thing and I’d be more than happy to show you.
