re: Ever thought of just giving it all up..

A lady I used to work with just one day said forget this, I'm out, and moved to Belize. She took about a year off and lived on savings (cheap there). Now she just does a little real estate and works at a bar there, loving life.


I used to work with a guy - mid 40's, beaten down. He told me that, on his honeymoon (first marriage) he was offered a job at the Jamaican resort they were at running their recreation program (apparently he got along so well with the other guests), he declined saying "I have a job, responsibilities, a career to work toward." He told me that was nearly 30 years ago, he doesn't own a dime more than he did back then, lamented he hadn't spent the last 20+ years drinking beer and sitting on the beach.
