Working folks tend to get too comfortable in jobs of convenients and instead of finding work that is more fulfilling and financially profitable, they choose to sit and try to make ends meet without making any postive changes and wonder why they never get anywhere. Hope your posts rings a bell or two for those considering an upgrade to their lives. Nice job!

My husbands new job, well we moved, his job is just across the street, and $5 an hour more, and for what he is good at. Welding. When we moved here in June we made a thing, we are saving 1000 a month and buy a CD a month. Now with me working, we will be buying 2 CD's per month. We will be retiring into a house we own 50 miles away, hoping at age*him*58. Right now renting an apt. This way when he retires at 58 we can cash in one CD a month. Yes we have made changes to our life style, cuz we need to get this savings thing done!!(we aren't getting any younger) Today is our 2nd anniversary! I have to hand it to you, are you really giving up a 6 figure income? Great you can make such big changes for you marriage!!

I work for the fully paid health insurance. And more family time. Because I do not work for the money, I am able to work only 4 days a week -30-32 hours usually - just enough to keep over the 30/hr/wk minimum for medical insurance. Just as important is the flexibility - if I need to go pick up sick grandkids from school,(their Mom's gone back to college and works full time also) or have them at work with me in the summer once in awhile, it is not a problem at all. This employer allows me to put family just as high on the priority list as the actually work I do. For that I am very very grateful. It is a great situation for me:) And the commute is 4 miles each way :) Being debt free changes my outlook from the money to the benefits. I work for the fully paid health insurance.

I spend 4 hours on the road alone+ 9to10 hours in the office. If you're a family man or you would like a happy, satisfying and enjoyable life, strive to increase your passive income so that you could resign from your job and spend more time with people you value most. This is my goal and the author of this blog is my role model! Cheers! Sam Fix My Personal Finance http://fixmypersonalfinance.com/ True about time and commute.

I wrote a recent post on 21 signs you are losing interest in your job, and I think most of them play to this point - when you lose the passion or challenge in your job, you lose interest and start the downward spiral towards becoming an inefficient worker. Something to be wary off. Great post and the last part about passion is spot.

With fuel costs going through the roof it'll make sense in the long run. Other than working from home, I reckon the best thing anyone can do is live as near to work as possible.

That's why I have decided to stay where I'm at until I'm making enough online to quit. I could quit my current job, go work somewhere else, and still be miserable. NOT worth it.

Remember to seriously consider your situation before taking action though as you are ultimately responsible for your own life. FFB: Good luck and don’t procrastinate and delay your decision/analysis!
