    I can relate to all of this but I'll give a perspective from someone a little older. I'm 41 and I left my last position working for someone else back in my 20s. I saw your other video and your story is almost identical to my own. I started my career right out of college in an amazing position, at a great company. Five years into my career, I was sitting in a pointless weekly Monday morning status meeting and all I could think was "this is wasting my life." I got up, walked back to my desk and wrote my resignation. I started my business the next day.
    But I was ready. I had savings. I had leads on contract work I could dive right into. I had a business plan I'd been working on for months. That was just the day I'd officially had enough.
    I did have a marriage, a kid on the way, and a brand new home. But I was prepared. I always tell my friends about how prepared I was when they talk about quitting their jobs. But it's completely possible. I actually did it the exact same way my dad did. And my life as a kid was better because I had a dad who worked for himself and I wanted that same life for my kids. 13.5 years since I turned in that resignation and it's still going great.

    You have to carefully assess yourself. This is my weekly topic for my own subscribers. Career. One thing that can really bring a person into depression is 40 hours a week of hating their job. The job is literally almost half of the waking life. The problem many people have is that they have a craving for security. The person will tolerate being unhappy if that is their normality. People would rather have secure bitterness than the fear of stepping off the cliff. The fact is that you can change your career anytime. At 40 or 50. I once knew a car salesman of 30 years who did really well but started to hate his job--so became a nurse at 57. He is now a travel contractor. His friends told him he would be 57 by the time he got licensed as an RN. He told them he would be 57 anyway. So he will now spend the next ten years doing something he likes instead of something he hates. But you have to decide if it is life on the sea you hate or just that ship you're traveling on. In other words--do you hate your trade or just the company you're at? But whatever you aren't happy with you must change and continue to advance yourself. Hope this helps someone---Charles.

    I hope this new endeavor works out for you. A lot of the things you talked about really made sense to me. I was laid off from my job after 33 years in corporate America. I was lucky enough to leave with a severance package that allowed me to take a step back to consider my next move. I have quickly realized that I should have left the company several years prior to the layoff. After 10 months at home feeling frustrated while trying to get a home business off the ground you are making some really good points.

    I needed this so much. I have been working with the same company for 7 years. I work as an online English teacher . And within those 7 years, I have been shouted at and cursed at by my students. I told management about it and they did nothing. They said that students will either like you or not and that I should never take it personally.
    I came to a point wherein I forced myself to work, making matters worse. I cried myself to sleep and I developed work anxiety.
    Thank you for being the voice I wanted to hear these years. Now I'm sending applications to different companies. Anxious to start again but I need this. I have to do this for myself.

What really ended up happening was a disorganized mess, crappy communication, and a workload meant for an entire team is composed of TWO people. From start to finish. I finally realized how badly it's affecting me because of the physical signs like losing weight, hot flashes, heart palpitations, uncontrollable shaking, and more that I couldn't shoo away or ignore. Even visiting my parents noticed how frail and terrible I looked and were so upset to see me like that. I work so hard even worrying about my work outside of paid hours, getting calls and emails when I'm supposed to be off...I don't think there's room for compromise- I'm taking the risk and lining up a new job (scary) and once that happens, I'm gone.

Second time quit to move to where I want to spend the rest of my life in beautiful San Diego after living 4 yrs in cooooold Rochester. Third time I quit to have more time to raise my kids while start my own business, be my own boss which was a dream I always had in the back of my mind. I always been frugal n hard working n a people person . I used the money we saved to buy my first apartment building in 1984 , then another then another. I create nice comfortable dwelling suitable to my tenants, take good care of them . In 37 yrs met a few bad apples but generally very rewarding mentally financially n gave me time to raise my two great kids with a husband with busy career and richly rewarded on my own right… I’m still frugal n hard working at 70 … your advices are all very wise for those ready to take the plunge or jump ship into a more rewarding life.

    I left the Army after 5 years of service. The first 3 years were pretty good. I had good community, good learning experiences, and I felt like I had a purpose, sort of. The last 2 years however, were what you described. Toxic workplace that wrecked my mental health, toxic leadership that wrecked the community (everyone looking out for their own best interest instead of the good of the group), shifting away from structured and purposeful work to more degrading, meaningless details wrecking my basic desire to apply myself. It made me realize that decent pay and benefits are worthless if my mental health is in the ditch and I'm never happy. Decent pay and benefits are well and good if you can be happy, but it's more important to be happy, even if you have to sacrifice your buying power.

    Love your content even though I’m retired at age 59. I can relate only because I retired earlier this year and felt guilty because I chose to retire during a time when many people are losing their jobs or not doing well . Like yours, it was a great corporate job with great pay and benefits but it was soulless and no longer gratifying. I love your humor and style, keep it up. One criticism, check your spelling.

      Don't feel guilty about retiring. Doing that opens up a job opportunity for someone else! Besides, where is it written in a stone that you need to work your whole life until you die?

    My savings technique: first I saved for things I wanted but once I saved enough I'd move the goalpost. Then I saved for freedom, enough to replace something if it broke, then I saved to buy back my time and give myself breathing room to make my own decisions about my life. Money for rent, food, school for the kids etc. We saved enough that we can quit (my wife did and is employed again) or move overseas towards new opportunities. Most of the money I spent was done trying to make myself feel better about my work so I saved to buy back my own peace of mind and freedom. :)

    Okay first of all I was anxious with you and that Red Bull 😭😭😭. I just knew it was going to explode everywhere. Plus they taste GROSS shaken up 🤢.
    Anyway, I appreciate this video and your honesty. So many people have the wrong impression of quitting a job not realizing the aftermath of doing so. I think you accurately expressed the behind-the-scenes work you put in to be able to do so. Most people do not do that and expect to up and quit because they feel like it. Awesome video, tfs!!!
