Like you I wansn't in a bad situation either, but there were too many variables and things out of my own control. In order to regain control I had to no longer owe any money, and no longer work for anyone else. Now I never have to worry about losing my job, or being able to pay my bills. I never have to worry about being to work on time or leaving early.. Someone asked me what it was like to "give up" everything and do what I did.. I told um this...
"You know that feeling you get at 9:00 on a sunday evening when you start thinking about going back to work for the next week? Every day feels like Friday at 4:55 for me..."
I have no idea what day of the week it is most days. I almost never know what day of the month it is. long weekends don't matter anymore and I have cheques from work I did 3 weeks ago sitting on my desk as I type, i'll put them in the bank sooner or later.. none of thoes things I could say before. "Property values" could implode tomorrow and it would be something I just read about in the paper and not mean anything to me...
