I’m a huge fan of the Biography Channel, and I watch it for at least 30 minutes each evening. My favorite biography category is entrepreneurship, and my favorite entrepreneur is Harlan Sanders of the Kentucky Fried Chicken empire. He was not an actual colonel in the army - he worked many jobs, but when he officially retired he began working on one of his passions -cooking fried chicken. I’m not going to get into his whole story, but to make my point. His biggest achievement and most exciting journey in life began in his later years. His key was that he chose to work in a field that he was passionate about, and worked on something he believed in. He was working much harder when he retired than when was running his gas station. My advice is to retire from the job you have, and of course put some money away in a mutual fund, possible bonds, or a 401K plan, but don’t quit working. Quit working a job you dislike, and start working a job you enjoy, whether that is a job as an employee or a self employment gig.
