Decided on Job Change or Retirement

[Two Time WinnerParticipant 1090]

Have been considering this for months. I’m the Chief Financial Officer for a company doing over $200 million in sales annually. Supervise people in four offices in two states. Job is stressful enough dealing with employees, the IRS, taxing authorities in about 10 states, lending institutions and producing monthly financial statements.

The owner retired about two years ago and turned management of the company over to his son-in-law. His management style is intimidation and criticism with an arrogant attitude. Several senior executives have left in last year. He has hired incompetents at a much reduced salary to replace them.

I had four mini-strokes a couple of years ago, no lasting effects. My blood pressure gets in the danger zone at work and I have some blockage in my chest and neck, not enough for surgery. I am afraid that something will come loose and go to my brain, causing some paralysis.

I’m going in tomorrow and tell him I will be leaving at the end of June. Hope to find a staff accountant job that will be a low stress nine to five thing. My age (soon to be 64) will make that difficult but I know I can get a part time one. Pay will be half or less of what I am making now but the money will be worthless if one side is paralyzed. Social security will cover my basic living expenses, will need to work to have anything extra.

Divorce was final about a month ago. I’m debt free and don’t have to pay the bitch anything so my money is my own. I’ve had an incredible sense of peace since I made the final decision so I know it is the correct one. Still apprehensive about finances but I have a good 401(k) account and a few thousand in a savings account.

I ain't got a wife to spend my money, I have to do that all by myself.

Good luck to you. Health is important and stress is a killer. Work and money isn’t everything in life.

Job change / retirement doesn’t necessarily mean all or nothing. In other words you may be able to find something that is enjoyable, and you make a few extra bucks. If you want to. As a CFO and MGTOW, debt free with some savings to boot, you have options most people would envy.

I'm going my own way. Maybe I'll see you there.

I’ve seen it hundreds of times if I’ve seen it once. It’s the New Broom. Sonny is forcing out the people his father-in-law hired. Experience and even competence don’t matter. The company is his now and he will make it his regardless of the consequences.

Excellent news. My heartfelt congratulations not only your coming retirement but also on such a wise decision.

AccountTemps or some similar service. I’d also look around for positions with auditing teams. I now they’re out there because I’ve seen them working at companies where I’ve been consulting. You sign up for a project, work 9 to 5, finish it, and then decide when you want to sing up again.

You’re a wise man with a good plan. You’ll also be able to downsize your life to fit your new income very easily, especially because you no longer have a wife wanting to spend, spend, spend, and spend again.

Still apprehensive about finances but I have a good 401(k) account and a few thousand in a savings account.

You’ll know what to do. Handling money and controlling finances has been your career. It’s going to be simple for you.

Do not date. Do not impregnate. Do not co-habitate. Above all, do not marry. Reclaim and never again surrender your personal sovereignty.

I would run for my life, I can’t imagine how it must be doing this kind of job at 64, I was in similar position in early 30s and realized how much it taxes your health.

The moment you are risking a stroke or a heartattack at your job it is time to quit.

You cannot spend the money if you are dead.

Either or. Change the job, or retire. Determine what you want with your life. If you’re one who can’t sit home all day, then just change jobs. But if you’re content to go fishing 3 days a week and hang out at home, go for it and retire.

Good on you.

More importantly, you are a rich alpha and you couldn’t keep a gal.

What chance does anyone else have?

All correct.
The harder you work, the more it’s ignored as status quo, expected, not appreciated.
mgtow moment years ago: She said, “I cleaned the house” (still looked shameful but improved somewhat) + = “look look I worked”, but the house, paid off, taxes, on a beautiful piece of land, paid for by yours truly – well, that’s referred to her as, “a blessing”. Right, it fell out of the sky. Guy WORKS = expected. She very temporally did a chore = looky, looky.

The big 4 risk factors for heart disease/stroke:
1.Smoking
2. Diabetes
3. Hypertension
4. STRESS

You can modify ALL of these- but MGTOW helps with#4 !!!!!!

I’d retire tomorrow if I could.

I could sit in my recliner and drink beer and go for a walk in the countryside a few times a week.

That is a great suggestion, I hadn’t even thought of that kind of work. Can work when I want to or need the money and take off when I
don’t. Spent several years early in my career working for a CPA firm and ran a few hundred audits, so I have that down cold.

Thanks Old Bill. The temp audit job or Accountemps is a great suggestion, hadn’t even thought of that.
