Decisions
« on: January 21, 2013, 08:50:00 AM »
I am now at the point in my career where I am seriously contemplating a submission for early retirement.  I know I have mentioned this before, but it fills my thoughts now on a daily basis.  If I do, and am accepted, it will reduce my income significantly and I am unsure whether or not it is a wise move.  I do know I am fairly miserable now, but I also know it can be worse.  If I do and am accepted, I will return to school full time and hopefully get my Masters so I can teach.  Then again, they may say no which would deny me a choice and leave only one path.  Please pray for me and my family as we choose what path we should take.  Thank you!

Isn't 41 a bit early for retirement.

I've been doing it for about 22 years, but yes, that's why it's called early retirement.   ;D

May God grant you the vision and wisdom to choose that path for your life which coincides with His will for you.
