I Wanna Retire!!

I never said my current job wasn’t profitable. I’m being paid a huge amount of money to do what I’m doing – truth be told, I can’t fathom why they’re paying me so much. That’s the hook for me. After all, we work for money. Satisfaction, yes, but money. Hell, if they didn’t pay us, we probably wouldn’t do a lot of things.

Doing the things that interest me will cut our income down to about one fourth of what it is today. It’s feasible, I suppose, that over time I could build it back up, but again – I’ve got four years of tuition still ahead, I’m 58, I don’t want to jeopardize a comfortable retirement – which is what I’ll have if I hang in there.

So maybe I’m just whining and I really don’t have any intention of making a change. I could live with that. (That’s 'cause today I’m not in the office; I’m working from home.)
