Everyone is different. I live in Belgium. In nov 2021, I lost my job because of Covid when I was 56 yrs old. And I then decided not to hunt for another job and instead live off my real estate investments in addition to my unemployment benefit. However, after 6 months, I got terribly bored and I went back hunting for a job. I've been working now since Oct 2022 and I will continue so until my official retirement age of 67. I have no pleasure in doing nothing. I'm not married and I have no kids.

Very similar story here. I'm a 59 year old black male and officially walked away from working earlier this year. I was a caregiver for my mother while also working as an IT consultant and also running a very successful side business with 20+ employees. I made a ton of money but was slowly dying inside especially after my mother passed without me being by her side due my "other commitments". My drive also helped kill my marriage after nearly 30 years together. Today, I'm living by the beach overseas with a different wife who is 15 years my junior, speaking a different language, and living like a king due to the much lower cost of living and very favorable currency exchange rate overseas. I bike ride the beach boardwalk everyday, eat the right foods, and have an immensely close relationship with my non english speaking wife. I've never been happier in my life. We are now in the youth of our senior years. The "go-go" years. We have paid our dues. Now is the time to start living the life of our dreams.

I can totally relate Reggi. I had to retire at age 48 (I'm 59 now) due to having a disabled adult daughter that I care for with my husband's help. Between my stressful career and my daughter's constant hospital visits I decided enough was enough. It is one decision I don't regret and would do it again not just for my daughter's health but my own. My daughter is now 31 and totally disabled diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. I'm sooooo thankful to the Lord that she has Long term care and with the help of caregivers (when they're here, because there are times when they're not). The rat race is not worth it!

My sentiments exactly from Atlanta. I was fortunate to retire 4 years ago during the pandemic from a thankless job. My health got so much better, even my feet look better because I am not wearing heels everyday. I have more money now than I did working 40 hours a week. You do not realize how much your finances revolve around a job and commuting daily. America's work world is run by essential workers which we found out during the pandemic. The dedicated, talented burnout workers have quit, and America has felt the impact. Now the upper class are begging and demanding that people come back to work. Not going back! Corporate America realizes that a big shift has happened in work America. The younger generations are not going to perform the work grind we did for years. So I salute and support you in your new endeavor. When you close one door, another opens. Love and light prayers to your dear mother.

It doesn't pay much, but I am desperate to do something meaningful with my life instead of wasting away at this job that doesn't care about me.

I was just talking to the Lord today about what should I do regarding my corporate job. I’ve reached the limit of what I can accomplish there. I know in my heart it’s time to take a leap of faith . That salary is keeping me from following my passion for building my music school. I am so ready to quit but I was going to wait a year to quit when I turn 55. Have been feeling this way for a very long time and yet I stick with it out of fear that I can’t replace my salary in my own business. I know that’s a lie I’m telling myself bc I know I can succeed in my own business. It’s leaving the comfort of a fixed salary is what’s kept me stagnant. Today I prayed and asked the Lord what should I do. How can I get unstuck? And your video came up. Thank you for sharing your story! It’s what I needed. Thank you!

I'm in the same place, except I just turned 42. I have my own publishing and community development company and have been working full-time in my J-O-B. I'm single and have experienced severe homelessness over the years. Letting go of a stable, consistent job is scary. I have stability (roof over my head) because of my consistent income. I've worked on my business part-time over the years, but one of my business mentors says I have a hobby because I'm not giving it my all. I know I'm capable of successfully building my company and being financially stable. It's just taking the leap in the beginning to let go of what seems consistent and just do it. I'm right there with you. I feel like we need a support group lol.

I left my public school teaching job of 16 1/2 years, September 2023. I couldn’t go back as it was sucking the soul out of me. I had not been taking proper care of ME, and my Middle School teaching job only amplified my stress level. I’m single, no kids, and help care for an aging mom and a slightly older sister who’s dealing with Parkinson’s plus a Breast Cancer survivor. And did I mention that I’m also the bread winner; they live with me. I worked hard, saved and spent less than I earned. Since December 2023, I’ve been living off of my savings and loving the freedom to BE! Self-care is optimal. I’m doing me and deciding on the next chapter of my life with the grace of God.

The divine timing of this video! I just spent the past week working 40 hours remotely while taking care of my 15 year old son while he was in the hospital with a sickle cell crisis. I was on the phone with my manager earlier this week from the ER and she basically told me that my son’s cries were a distraction. I’m exhausted and I’m only 42 years old but my sons will always have sickle cell and my job has been so stressful to balance for the last 14 years. I’m ready to walk away for my own peace of mind.

You look amazing for your age, and the best is yet to come! God bless you. I was a caregiver for my mom and dad for some years and it is so hard, but so worthwhile in the end. Mine both passed within 6 months of each other and the grief was very strong for 2 years afterwards. Then I had the strength to make a big change and move somewhere with sunshine, which I had been missing for years. Now I am ready to start planning my next adventure, at 58 years on this earth. You give me inspiration.

Corporate America will burn you out if you sit in it long enough. I always had great hobbies during my work career. My corporate executive bosses admired that and purchased over $5000. Of my book. They redesigned their entire HR on boarding orientation around me. Work was never my life. It paid the bills but my book is still bringing in finances 4 years later. I was a care provider for my grandmother but always had time for me and creative nature. I just moved from New York on August 30th. Now in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I plan to work online part time hopefully for a Christian film company. It’s beautiful creating a new life the way you want it. So much to explore and discover about ourselves. I’m sure you will too, will do awesome things. God bless you Sistah!

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽I quit my job & retired myself as an administrative assistant at a high school in 2017, where my son graduated in 2014, I was 53. I developed high blood pressure while working there so leaving was always in the back of my mind. I loved to write so I started writing children’s books and poems in my spare time during the 7 years I worked there and ended up with at least 25 book ideas. I self-published 2 books while I was there and after I quit I self-published 2 more and I’m working on lots more and a poetry book. I was able to get them in our public library, a family owned bookstore and I’m a vendor for our school region. God ordered every step I took and I’m still following my heart at age 60 and the book ideas & other business ideas just continue to flow. I also take my elderly mom to lots of Dr visits and my brother who had a stroke at 51 this year, so I can relate to you so well because having a job would not be beneficial because I’d have to take off so much. I know you will thrive and soar in this new season of your life, you’ve already made one step, God will do the rest. Peace, Love & Continued Blessings to You❤

The problem with quitting jobs at this age is that no other company will hire you in your 50s. they will think you are too old and can't learn new things or get with the time. This is what I am afraid of and it's a scary thought if others things don't work out, then you are out of income and a good job.

I understand where you’re coming from. Change at this stage can feel overwhelming, and fear of the unknown is real. But I truly believe that our skills, experiences, and talents don’t expire, even if the world tells us otherwise. Quitting a traditional job doesn’t mean you stop working…it means you start working differently. Sometimes, stepping out of the familiar takes faith, and for me, trusting God has been everything on this journey. You’re never too old to create something new or follow a different path. I hope this inspires you to see what’s possible, even if it feels uncertain.

Thank you for making this video and by the way, you did a great job and shared the message so articulately. I resonate with soooo much of what you mentioned as to the reasons why you decided to take a chance on yourself! I've been teaching for 12 years and my illness(es) are a direct result of the stress I try to manage every single day. Well, to my body, stress is stress....I'm not managing it at all. Listening to your testimony inspired me to keep in motion the plan I've been preparing to implement and that I've prayed on and received confirmation from God. I am also a caretaker and my biggest concern is making sure I have adequate healthcare, but I do have ideas how that will work. I really just need to take that leap of faith and bet on myself.

I feel so seen! I'm 52, I quit my job this past July to take a career break and chill a little. In August, my mom had 2 emergency surgeries that took away all of her independence. The last 5 months have been a roller coaster and she's getting much better but still very much dependent on me and my sister. I'm starting to feel a little panicky about not working and wanting to look for another remote job-don't miss work, just the steady paycheck/ health insurance. Also dealing with the programming that GenX was taught- to work, work, work. Caregiving is HARD and I was super tired even before my mom got sick. But after listening to you, maybe I should really learn to embrace this time and work on some of the things I've been putting off and taking care of myself...bet on myself for a change. Finding the balance is tough but I'm glad I found your channel❤

My mom had heart failure in 2021. At the time, I was working from home, so I didn’t take time off to help her because I thought working around my temote schedule would be enough. Fast forward to August of this year, she had a stroke that caused aphasia, memory loss, and weakness on her right side. This time, I decided to take a leave of absence to support her. Thankfully, her memory loss, weakness, and aphasia weren’t severe, and she can still function. After 19 years in the healthcare field, I made the decision to quit my job and stay home to care for her. She now lives with me, and I feel it’s helping her regain some of her memory and improve a little with the aphasia. I couldn't imagine her improving as much as she had if I hadn’t been there to support her full-time Family definitely comes first, and I appreciate you sharing your story it’s been so helpful❤

First of all I want to say God bless you. I know what you’re going thru. I too, as a now 58 year old black man, took my mother in when she could no longer care for herself. It is tough, but as a child of God you do what He has placed in your heart to do. Your mother must have been a good influence on you for you to become the good person you are. It’s all about the Godly principle of stewardship, taking care of what God has placed in your hands. And you my dear exemplify that principle superbly. God is pleased with you, keep doing what you’re doing.

Happy to walk this journey with you. Your story really resonates, particularly snatching your health back before it's too late, caused by years of neglect - in my case whilst sole parenting. I'm coming out the other side now but 2yrs out of the workplace has allowed me to find my own step, and breathe. Wishing you so much peace, joy and fulfillment. Turning on notifications now x

I’m 57 and really understand. I have been seeking something sustainable for myself outside of the grind. I was at one nonprofit for 24 years that I loved, scaled and merged with a larger one. I have changed jobs twice since in a quest to find something that doesn’t exhaust me and allows me to be present in my life. I realized at the rate I was going I was not going to enjoy the last years of my parents lives nor enjoy my Grandkids when they come. Wishing you the best.

I’m caregiving both parents in my mid-60s, still working fulltime from home, but it’s a lot! I feel for you having that on your shoulders and with your mom being so ill for nearly 30 years. You deserve a break.

I can totally relate…this message has been a blessing for me. I didn’t think anyone else felt like this…thank you for sharing. It’s been such a long lonely journey for me, taking care of my mom, working in a stressful uncaring environment…this has given me hope, but it’s still a journey… I’m grateful…but I am just really tired…🙏🏾

God bless you I was a primary caregiver for my dad with dementia and limited mobility for several years while working full-time. I also developed several health issues during that time and it was extremely difficult. My dad just passed away at 87 and I’m at the point where I’m trying to figure out when I will leave my job which needs to be soon. It’s just not worth it anymore

You’ve been through so much, and it’s clear you gave your all to care for your dad. That’s a beautiful testament to your love and dedication. I hope you find peace and space to care for yourself now too. For me, stepping away from corporate was about finding purpose and balance in a way that still lets me “work” but on my own terms. Sending you love and strength as you figure out your next steps. 🩷

Hello! First of all, you look great. I am actually in a very similar situation, having worked at my job for almost 10 years... I am seriously considering quitting and getting another job at this time due to years of constant stress that has been getting worse which is the reason why I have been seeking the Lord on whether or not to move at this time. God has called us to peace, and should he open the door, I will definitely go through it, and go on my new journey. Your testimony is proof and shows the benefits and the necessity of taking care of yourself is the only way to continue to be a blessing to others and fulfilling our purpose. I pray blessings for you and your entire family.

Thanks for sharing your journey! I’m on a FIRE journey so that I can retire by 55 (if not then 60) although the US is now pushing back the retirement age. I want time freedom, a less stressful work, and open availability to travel. Work doesn’t allow that for me.

Thanks for your video! It spoke to me! "Begin again" and "Peace, Purpose and Time" are exactly what I'm working through at this very moment. At 60, having been in a corporate job for over 25 yrs, I'm ready for a major life change. I feel like a complete overhaul of my life is what's needed for a fresh start - new career, new home, new country. Your video helped me to realize that this phase of life is normal and there are so many of us going through it one way or another. I know I will get to the other side... figuring out how to get there is the challenge. You've motivated me to keep pressing on. Thank-you!
