I can relate to all of this but I'll give a perspective from someone a little older. I'm 41 and I left my last position working for someone else back in my 20s. I saw your other video and your story is almost identical to my own. I started my career right out of college in an amazing position, at a great company. Five years into my career, I was sitting in a pointless weekly Monday morning status meeting and all I could think was "this is wasting my life." I got up, walked back to my desk and wrote my resignation. I started my business the next day. But I was ready. I had savings. I had leads on contract work I could dive right into. I had a business plan I'd been working on for months. That was just the day I'd officially had enough. I did have a marriage, a kid on the way, and a brand new home. But I was prepared. I always tell my friends about how prepared I was when they talk about quitting their jobs. But it's completely possible. I actually did it the exact same way my dad did. And my life as a kid was better because I had a dad who worked for himself and I wanted that same life for my kids. 13.5 years since I turned in that resignation and it's still going great.

[@victoriaduran1477]

I just got my dream job 3 months ago, and now I just handed in my resignation letter. After the first month of work I never had time for myself, I don't eat well or sleep well and my body became weak, I once almost collapsed when I went to the market and my weekends were literally another weekday. At first I thought it was normal and it would get better, it didn't and I got scared because I just started and nothing was improving and my boss would complain I was lagging behind even when I was at my sleepless night best. I couldn't even keep another job because this job took up my full day everyday, I had a conversation about it with my boss and tried to explain why I was lagging behind and I was told I'm not the only one with other things going on in their life and nothing improved if anything it got worse and I even got verbal insults. Now I've handed in my letter suddenly working became better and I got scared I made the wrong choice to quite. Honestly it's talks with friends and more experienced people that helped my put my foot down in leaving my job. I really hope this was the right step

[@charleshurstreinvention3959]

You have to carefully assess yourself. This is my weekly topic for my own subscribers. Career. One thing that can really bring a person into depression is 40 hours a week of hating their job. The job is literally almost half of the waking life. The problem many people have is that they have a craving for security. The person will tolerate being unhappy if that is their normality. People would rather have secure bitterness than the fear of stepping off the cliff. The fact is that you can change your career anytime. At 40 or 50. I once knew a car salesman of 30 years who did really well but started to hate his job--so became a nurse at 57. He is now a travel contractor. His friends told him he would be 57 by the time he got licensed as an RN. He told them he would be 57 anyway. So he will now spend the next ten years doing something he likes instead of something he hates. But you have to decide if it is life on the sea you hate or just that ship you're traveling on. In other words--do you hate your trade or just the company you're at? But whatever you aren't happy with you must change and continue to advance yourself. Hope this helps someone---Charles.

My son is now 23 & has been living on his own. My job values me (even gave me two raises totaling 18% within 10 months time, but I am no longer feeling fulfilled or connected to what I do. I just told them yesterday that I want to cut my hours & they agreed. Luckily, I also accrue a LOT of vacation time, so I’m going to use that time to figure out the next chapter in my life.

Toxic workplace that wrecked my mental health, toxic leadership that wrecked the community (everyone looking out for their own best interest instead of the good of the group), shifting away from structured and purposeful work to more degrading, meaningless details wrecking my basic desire to apply myself.

I was thinking about quitting for one year, so definitely nobody should do it without being sure. Thanks for your awesome videos. ❤️ And I'm definitely running towards being a successful, self employed artist. I also do not need fancy things. I want time and live. ❤️

[@itsDjjayyArt]

That's why u have a ABCD plan in place

[@nikkian9254]

That's so great you were able to save enough money to quit! Curious if you found another job/work stream or were able to retire completely with the savings?

[@lilkirsche]

@@nikkian9254 I didn't retire completely (the money would have lasted for 2 years, so enough time for me to heal) but I only work part-time now and this is the best solution for me. But I am saving money again for the future and in case I need it again. I can work on my passion (art) and still have the safety of getting money each month. Feels good currently 😊

[@Steve-go6oq]

My savings technique: first I saved for things I wanted but once I saved enough I'd move the goalpost. Then I saved for freedom, enough to replace something if it broke, then I saved to buy back my time and give myself breathing room to make my own decisions about my life. Money for rent, food, school for the kids etc. We saved enough that we can quit (my wife did and is employed again) or move overseas towards new opportunities. Most of the money I spent was done trying to make myself feel better about my work so I saved to buy back my own peace of mind and freedom. :)

[@rahimgowani6269]

Been through the same situation in 2019, glad I saved something and quit that toxic job. Although 2020 was difficult and seemed like I made a bad decision or wrong timing, but feels much better now. The longer it takes you to realize the fact that corporates are renting out your lives and you are nothing more than what you contribute, the more painful it gets.

[@jackjia4230]

I quit in April 2021. One downside of quitting has been daily activity structure without external pressure. In many ways I am institutionalized to let the work determine the day. Without it I have not been as productive on my own

Oh my god, I have that exact same bad habit you talk about at 6:00, my wife is constantly catching me and saying "what are you sighing about now?!". I feel like you're my twin, in every aspect lol. Saw your "Quit my $120,000 job" video and came to this one after. It's funny how the timing of it worked, because I JUST did most if not all of these things right before coming across your channel. It's great to watch these videos shortly afterward, which reinforce my thoughts and decisions :)

This just autoplayed on my KZbin. I realised long ago (when I was 15 and did 2 weeks work experience in an office after which I vowed I would never work in an office again) that I hate being employed and have been avoiding having full time jobs for other people for years. I really enjoyed how you present all this info - you are so entertaining! My life mantra is similar; keep your standards high and your expectations low. (+Multiple income streams are the key!)

[@Markus_Aurelius_]

Tomorrow’s my last day at work been sitting on quitting for a couple months, I’ve got money Saved up and I’m going to school. Was pretty nervous about it but excited to see what comes next.

[@charleshurstreinvention3959]

Same advice I give on other posts. This is my weekly topic for my own subscribers. Career. One thing that can really bring a person into depression is 40 hours a week of hating their job. The job is literally almost half of the waking life. The problem many people have is that they have a craving for security. The person will tolerate being unhappy if that is their normality. People would rather have secure bitterness than the fear of stepping off the cliff. The fact is that you can change your career anytime. At 40 or 50. I once knew a car salesman of 30 years who did really well but started to hate his job--so became a nurse at 57. He is now a travel contractor. His friends told him he would be 57 by the time he got licensed as an RN. He told them he would be 57 anyway. So he will now spend the next ten years doing something he likes instead of something he hates. But you have to decide if it is life on the sea you hate or just that ship you're traveling on. In other words--do you hate your trade or just the company you're at? But whatever you aren't happy with you must change and continue to advance yourself. Hope this helps someone---Charles.

I hate it- I need to vent this. I don't think I can take it anymore at what was supposed to be the "dream" position- I finally got a full time job as a Media Marketing Coordinator at an animal organization- PERFECT for an animal lover and creative person like me, right?....At first, I was SO excited and ready to learn and improve my skills. What really ended up happening was a disorganized mess, crappy communication, and a workload meant for an entire team is composed of TWO people. From start to finish. I finally realized how badly it's affecting me because of the physical signs like losing weight, hot flashes, heart palpitations, uncontrollable shaking, and more that I couldn't shoo away or ignore. Even visiting my parents noticed how frail and terrible I looked and were so upset to see me like that. I work so hard even worrying about my work outside of paid hours, getting calls and emails when I'm supposed to be off...I don't think there's room for compromise- I'm taking the risk and lining up a new job (scary) and once that happens, I'm gone.

I'm quitting my job. In order to pursue my real estate career full-time. I've been trying to juggle a full-time job and do real estate. But it's to much. I'm a good worker. And being a good worker always comes with more responsibilities. Then management starts to depend on you more. And they want you to work more. So it takes time away from me building my business.

I hope this new endeavor works out for you. A lot of the things you talked about really made sense to me. I was laid off from my job after 33 years in corporate America. I was lucky enough to leave with a severance package that allowed me to take a step back to consider my next move. I have quickly realized that I should have left the company several years prior to the layoff. After 10 months at home feeling frustrated while trying to get a home business off the ground you are making some really good points. I will continue to watch your videos for inspiration and guidance as I too move along this dark, scary new path. Thank you!

Glad you made this follow up video sharing more realistic wisdom…I did quit my managerial job 3 times with 3 Fortune 500 companies even though I loved my jobs. First time was got married n had to move where my husband was getting trained. Second time quit to move to where I want to spend the rest of my life in beautiful San Diego after living 4 yrs in cooooold Rochester. Third time I quit to have more time to raise my kids while start my own business, be my own boss which was a dream I always had in the back of my mind. I always been frugal n hard working n a people person . I used the money we saved to buy my first apartment building in 1984 , then another then another. I create nice comfortable dwelling suitable to my tenants, take good care of them . In 37 yrs met a few bad apples but generally very rewarding mentally financially n gave me time to raise my two great kids with a husband with busy career and richly rewarded on my own right… I’m still frugal n hard working at 70 … your advices are all very wise for those ready to take the plunge or jump ship into a more rewarding life. Best wishes to you and your viewers who are contemplating career move.

I climbed the corporate ladder, made it to executive director in one of the top investment bank but I can’t take it anymore. I have saved up and can provide for the next 2 years but I have not build any other income stream over the years. Moral of the story, the more you wait, the harder it gets… more responsibilities at work, family etc. Regardless, I’m ready to move on and live the rest of my life on my own terms.
