I have decided I need to be Independently wealthy!
I am almost 60 and in 3 weeks I start a new job.
I felt it was impossible to remain in my current workplace and maintain my sanity. A management company took over 9 months ago and so many staff have been subject to disciplinary action or left of their own accord.
I realise how fortunate I am to have found an interesting new job on my own terms.
The manager is very eager for me to start and everyone seems lovely. Financially I will be earning about the same although my travel costs will increase.
But...I am fed up of having to go out to work.
It isn't even the working I object to, It is everything that goes with it.
The hour travelling in traffic each way. Going out in the nasty winter weather, knowing that I may not get home to my rural village, if it snows.
My family (both kids are ASD) will help out at home, but only if I leave incredibly detailed instructions about what needs doing which takes almost as long as doing the thing in the first place.
If I can't be independently wealthy I just really want to hibernate until the spring.
It has been a rough 6 months, my lovely mum died 6 months ago and my aged dad is needing a lot of support and we are all dreading the coming C Word because she loved it so..
Am I alone in feeling lazy and unmotivated like this? Is it related to the never ending joy that is the menopause?
In reality I know I am really lucky (because my life hasn't always been so good) so maybe I just need to give my head a wobble and crack on?
What do you think would go well with coasters like this?
