“Submitted my resignation letter today at 38”
What Actually Happened
I've been retired for 8 years, living in Thailand, and traveling. I've been saving a majority of my income since I was 28 and investing in the stock market. I've had a solid job with great pay and hours, but my heart wasn't in it. I decided to resign and pursue my passion for travel and helping others.
What I wish I knew
"It's not always easy to make the decision to leave a stable job, but it's worth it in the end."
