Bust a** and save money for a couple of years so that you can throttle back and enjoy life before you retire.

"There are worse things out there" You're right. I need to stop feeling sorry for my situation and be thankful I am where I am.

I quit my low hundreds job to spend my life's savings to return to school to become an RN, which pays half as much, so I could help people. My clinical instructor was a heartlesss b**** who drove me to quit. Now I'm unemployed, and finding a job in this economy is a nightmare, especially if you're not young. And money problems are NOT fun! Unless your physical health begins to suffer, it might be better to stay at your job. Remember that old saying, "The grass is always greener..."

Find a home near water or nature... it really makes the other 16 hours of the day a joy. You'll find you can easily walk away from the overtime/extra hours knowing that a beautiful sunset awaits you. For what it's worth I make under 20k and life is rocking, and I'm doing what I enjoy ( and it's one huge rollercoaster emotional thrill ride too ). Don't forget good friends.

I had a comment but it looks like everyone else covered the bases. But...remember, work to live, don't live to work. If you still have a couple days to spend with the family, just use your resources to make the most of the time.

My husband makes 150K a year. It's spit our family apart, moved us all over the country, we never see each other.He ended up having an affair and lying to me while shipping us everywhere. We're on the rocks, and his kids resent him and think they don't love him.I make 20K a year, budget my money, and live life. He still works year round, 7 days a week and calls when he's not working.I'm broken hearted, he's broken hearted. No one wins. Family time is the only thing worth living for...
