Hello.
Hi, John. Thanks for taking my call.
Yeah. All right. I'm 51. I've been working since I was 24 in a legit career. I have switched careers one time already. I'm kind of at that point again. However, my husband, who is well compensated and really good at what he does, has a very high stress job. We also have what I like to call the golden handcuffs. We're at a point in our life where we have a mortgage and college savings.
So the luxury that I had when I made that first career change is the timing is not the same. I'll put it that way. I have this pattern throughout my life of retreat, hide, push it down. To make way for everyone else's stress and problems, I don't stand up for my own. So here I am at a point in my life where I'm thinking I've got nine, 10 good years left till I want to retire.
I'm in a job that while I love it, I feel it's at odds with its own industry and it's just riddled with politics and it's become rather unfulfilling and lets me lose sleep at night. But coming to my husband right now and saying, hey, this kind of sucks. I'd like to change things up. Feels like an impossibility. And I'm wondering, what's my right next step, as you like to say?
I hope that made sense.
Okay.
20 years.
I can tell him usually how I feel. About most things, right? So we have a pretty solid marriage. This is a big one. And the reason I called in or sent into your show last week was I had a particularly bad day at work. And the message back was, I need you to not get fired or quit right now. I just can't.
And I went, okay, so that's my usual, like, oh, okay, I'll just retreat, stuff it down, deal with it later.
Yeah, that's very true, yes.
Okay. Okay.
Yeah.
It is, which is why I'm at this breaking point.
They're 15 and 11.
It sure does. It does.
This is why I haven't just bailed on it and run to the next one because I'm just trading the names on the faces.
Absolutely. Yes.
He's got this thing he's trying to survive, I think is fair to say.
Yeah, yeah, okay. So the company he works for, he does really well, but they are being acquired soon. And there has been so much stripping of labor, basic functions in the HR side aren't getting done. So the stress for him and his coworkers has just been, and I don't use this term lightly, astronomical.
