Anyone ever get the urge....
 

.. to just jack it all in and say f**k it - quit your job, sell the house, sell the bikes and start all over from scratch?

not the bikes:o

Every single day!!!

There was a quote on the simpsons this week that could have come from my mouth!

Oh! ... OH GOD! my back! my back! ... and my job is so unfulfilling.

bikes is a tough one - with the job, i don't have time to ride... and without the job, i don't have the money to ride.... :mad::mad:

Yep, new job may help though :eureka:

No

You at home Shaun, with the wife watching over your shoulder? :lol:

NO,but my sister has,shes done the lot,quit work,gave up her flat,got out of xmas & wizzed off last week to MIAMI for 6 months:cool:

Often!-when my marriage broke up 15 years ago I thought-Feck it, what am I doing this for, I could move to Minorca and teach windsurfing, I don't NEED all this ****. But I didn't because I would have been too far away from my two girls-so I kept nose to grindstone. Now I am in another trap, 3 or 8 years from retirement(depending on 60 or 65) with a reasonable final salary pension-I can't bloody AFFORD to jack it all in since I have too much to lose-so as before I carry on. Doesn't mean I wouldn't like to do it though..........:(

Every minute of every day for the past 3 months :borg:

I just have... although I didn't sell the house, coz it's rented, and didn't sell the bikes, coz I don't own any!!

But I did jack it all in on Monday, and I'm moving to a new house this weekend!!

Very very very hard decision as life is dictated by cashflow, but luckily I've managed to pull it off thanks to some great clients/friends.

I have been thinking about running off and working as a cowboy or something (and I don't mean a plumber etc).

Life is soooooooo dull.

Good luck with whatever you end up doing ;)

I second that emotion :biaggi:

Used to, many times, then my hand was forced and big changes had to be made. Haven't looked back.
Money isn't everything. You do need it, but when you're up against it, you'd be surprised at what you can get by on.
There's always something round the corner. It might smack you in the nose sometimes, but if you don't take a look, you'll never know ;)

Urban.... I think we all do....but we don't.

There are times in your life when you can .... before marriage / kids / mortgage, but once you have those responsibilities it's very difficult to pluck up the courage to take the plunge.

If it's just you, or you and a partner I would say '' Just do it '' if things are that bad. Lifes too short.

And do what, the same again. Very rare that the grass on the otherside stays green for very long.
But they do say a change is good as a rest.

Id love to leave the Rat race & opt for a basic life.

If i hadnt seen such riches i could live with being poor!!!

got a mate lived down london way
earned big bucks well placed on the carear ladder
jacked it all in
now works for sucuricor collecting the cash out of phone boxes
rekons he lost 30k a year
but is much happier
best thing he's ever done

Yeah, now he pockets £30k a day from phone boxes :lol:

I've met people like that, but they still had thousands tucked away in the bank from when they were on megamoney.:saint:

Interesting replies - glad to know I'm not the only one who feels like this from time to time!

Problem at the moment is I live in Northampton but work in Camberley so I'm away all week, which was fine while I was a contractor but since I took a staff job.... suddenly it seems like a life sentance.... :(

"If i hadnt seen such riches i could live with being poor!!!" - Nice quote - James, Sit down I believe.. lot of truth in that

Cheers
Martin

Yup, done it twice !!!! :burn:
