How Much is Enough?
Since quitting my job, I've been on an emotional rollercoaster. I'm elated for a while and then racked with "what ifs". I know everything is going to be fine, but I'm definately a workaholic and I'm addicted to making money. That's the beauty of what I do, the harder I work the more money I make. So it's hard to not want to make money/work. I just hope that I've tied everything up well enough that I can walk away for a month and reassess what's up with my crazy life. I just can't do this any more. I've been working 12 - 18 hour days for years now and I just can't do it anymore. I need to find a balance, but that is easier said then done. Back in the day, I was perfectly happy making $40K a year, working 40 hours a week and surfing 3 times a week. But would that make me happy now that I know what else is out there? I've saved up some cash so I will have some time to think.
I can't wait to go home. :)

3 Shenanigans:
I really do know the feeling. When I was a kid working the tourist industry in South Jersey, I would work 100 hours a week, but only for 3 months...then the tourists would go home and work would grind to a halt. I never had a yearning to continue working because there wasn't money to be made. Then came the next job in California which was year around. I busted a move for a couple years but was never satisfied knowing that if I worked a couple hours more every day I could make really good Cha-Ching...that is until I started getting burnt out.
It is really hard to live properly working that much, but once you get used to it, it is even harder to stop knowing that the money and the tasks are still there, even though you aren't.
You are still in Crazyville at Vicious Headquarters, come home, swing in the hammock and chill. The right answers will come to you...you got to this point because of your intelligence and savvy business decisions. Those same assets will guide you through this situation too.
Can't wait to see you.
Hey no worrys. We all know whatever direction you take ,you will ROCK it. A real vacation is way over due.
Hey, don't check out yet. Make an effort to find your balance and stay in the game. Working hard isn't a bad thing....work hard, then play harder. Or work less and play hard....whatever works for you. Hearing you say you are quitting makes it sound like you are walking away with your tail between your legs and giving up. Stay...in...the...game.
