You're gonna get an island bitch preggers and still be owned

Everyone has thought that.
But where ever you go, there you are. Changing locations won't change you. So work on yourself where you are.
Then figure out what you can change where you are. Disgusted with yourself? Start exercising. Hate your job? Line out what you need to do to make a change. Feeling empty? See a counselor or go do something spiritual (church, retreat, meditation, yoga, whatever works for you).
If you change those things and you still have the itch, bon voyage.

I've been a business owner for 25 years and I'm seriously thinking about a move out of the country to Panama.

Thanks Dr. Phil.. 
naw but seriously I workout 3 times a week and I' don't hate my job it's just not challenging at the moment.. It's something me and friends have talked about cause no one is excited about going to work.. We all have degrees and were just existing.. We could just exist on a island I guess

Thank you.
Think I'll spend the rest of my day in my office at work doing research for this.

Everyday!
My dream job has become either the guy with the highlighter standing at the exit door of SAMs
or the guy cutting the grass in the air conditioned tractor on the interstate.
LOW STRESS!

My wife and I have talked about it. Probably wouldn't do it until we were in our late forties, though. Wouldn't be a beach, but rather out in the countryside some where, possibly foreign (Italy, France, England, etc...).

And moving to a tropical island getting a job waiting tables or working for a resort? Move with a couple of friends get a house and just live.. I couldn't be doing any worse there than I am here right?
It's my alternative to suicide. Why check out of life altogether when we in the modern world have the option to just check out or our current circumstances, sell all our shite at clearance prices, and set up in some tropical paradise. With regards to knowledge and professionalism, even those of us who have never worked in the service industry compare pretty favorably to most in the hospitality sector in those kinds of places. You could probably work your way up to assistant manager of a mid-sized resort in a few year's time.

I think seriously about this daily.

If anyone is thinking about quitting your job, I urge you to read 4-hour work week. A lot of the concepts are not applicable to everyone but there are nuggets of information scattered throughout the book that alone make the purchase worthwhile.

I was thinking about it but with all you effers there already it would be as crowded as where I am now.

I think you have to do it for the right reasons and in the right way. Lots of miserable people doing what you described. It took me 40 years of rebelling against the system to find balance and I'm still working at it.
Reminds me of a great song.

Jackson Browne – For Everyman Lyrics
Everybody I talk to is ready to leave
With the light of the morning
They've seen the end coming down
Long enough to believe
That they've heard their last warning
Standing alone
Each has his own ticket in his hand
And as the evening descends
I sit thinking 'bout Everyman
Seems like I've always been
Looking for some other place
To get it together
Where with a few of my friends
I could give up the race
And maybe find something better
But all my fine dreams
Well thought out schemes
To gain the motherland
Have all eventually come down
To waiting for Everyman
Waiting here for Everyman
Make it on your own if you think you can
If you see somewhere to go I understand
Waiting here for Everyman
Don't ask me if he'll show -- baby I don't know
Make it on your own if you think you can
Somewhere later on you'll have to take a stand
Then you're going to need a hand
Everybody's just waiting to hear from the one
Who can give them the answers
And lead them back to that place
In the warmth of the sun
Where sweet childhood still dances
Who'll come along
And hold out that strong
And gentle father's hand?
Long ago I heard someone say
Something 'bout Everyman
Waiting here for Everyman
Make it on your own if you think you can
If you see somewhere to go I understand
I'm not trying to tell you
That I've seen the plan
Turn and walk away if you think I am
But don't think too badly
Of one who's left holding sand
He's just another dreamer,
Dreaming 'bout Everyman

I have a good buddy that I've known since middle school. He ended up going to Alabama for undergrad. Decided he wasn't done with school, so stayed around and got a Masters.
What's he do now? Lives on an island and works at/part owns a bar. Drives a golf cart half a mile to work, gets off work and drinks every day. When he's not working he's either golfing or taking the boat out to fish.
Gotta admit it doesn't sound bad.
