Don’t get me wrong, i am grateful for having positions which have paid extremely well. When I was starting out, I wanted to set up an emergency fund, which turned into a house fund and eventually I had my home paid for. Then I started investing, taking vacations, donating money. My jobs have paid well but left me with little free time, so most of the money has been saved. I spend freely for a good vacation or good cause, but I am reaching that point where I wake up thinking that having more time will allow me to reconnect with things that are dear to: family, friends, my deen, and additional education.
Anyone have any advice on moving beyond the career/money, to pursue things that are more fulfilling? I do that I’ll miss the fat paycheck, expense accounts and the work-friends.
