Will be on here almost full time
on chit chat? You'll be here on your own most of the time. or did you mean your going full time on the gambling? good luck you'll need it. BTW respect for chucking the job in. it's big decision. I hope it works out for you |

Steamship this maybe aint the same but I chucked my job to take early retirement at 55.
Was well paid and came with a company car. My pension is obviously a lot less than my salary was but I've never been happier. |

Wish i had your balls Steamship!
I've been quitting my job for the last six years and am now deeper in a rut than i was before. If only i could learn to act on instinct rather than listen to my cautious brain. ![]() |

you're right to think it through, and weigh up the pros and cons. |

I want to do it but the older you get the less you want to do it.
I can earn twice my wage if i leave. But at the moment if i die my family get 125k and my pension is 25/40. So if i stay i can retire at 58 for pension reasons and then leave. |

Thanks for the comments.
My position was not as difficult as it will be for some. I'm separated, my daughter is 20 and lives with her mum. I will be leaving the house which I rent from the guy I worked with and will move in with my mum till I get sorted out probably a couple of months. I do have outgoings and not a great deal of money, but I knew that if I did not put myself in this position then I would keep taking the crap. I can fall back on the other job, but I d feel a lot better after just three days. |
