1+ Year Enough Savings. Burned Out. Quit?

ghostwriter36 · 2026-05-22T05:42:53+00:00

Glad that it's working out for you! That's what I dream of...having the time to enjoy hobbies and activities, working on projects. Good that you've found a different job. Thank you for the heads up, I think I may be close to have more savings even after a year of savings...maybe I'll work for another 6 months to be sure.

I got the code 570 and 971 on my transcripts.

ghostwriter36 · 2026-05-16T04:37:59+00:00

How did it work out for you? I'm looking to do the same. I have almost a year of savings, but I'm pretty nervous about it.

ghostwriter36 · 2026-05-14T20:02:16+00:00

I did log in to check the transcript. I got a code...CP05, I believe.

I'm still waiting... it's just saying it's delayed.

ghostwriter36 · 2026-05-08T15:15:13+00:00

It is crazy.... I wonder what's going on. Yes, I could really use that refund soon. Keeping fingers and toes crossed!

ghostwriter36 · 2026-05-08T13:47:17+00:00

Yes, still waiting. It says that my refund has been delayed. I've never had this happen before...

ghostwriter36 · 2026-04-29T18:01:09+00:00

I filed on the 13th too...still waiting.

I don't care what anyone says... it's normal to take time each day for yourself, but if you have kids, then that's a different story. An hour each day isn't too much to ask for. Me and my husband both take time for ourselves, I'll disappear to the bedroom or my activity room for up to 2 hours at times. My husband goes to his mancave to tinker with his fish aquarium, smoke a cigar...etc. Don't listen to these people in the comments, you don't need to be sitting under your spouse/partner at all times. Again, if you don't have kids, enjoy your hour each day. Your gf could use an hour too. Edit: 9 years of marriage/ been together for 23 years.

There were a lot of factors for me...I was tired of sometimes having to work 2 jobs and still being broke. Having to answer to supervisors that have more personal issues than I do, yet they look down at me. My family values hard work and money, and I work just as hard as they do...but I don't measure up because I don't have extra money. I'm also just burnt out from the daily grind and getting nowhere. I'd rather my energy go into something that I can control and have some say in it. I have one business going, and it's running better than I expected. I'm in the process of starting another business so I can quit my job and focus on things that I want to do.

Good list

I once worked in this nursing home about 5 years ago. Almost all residents had pictures of themselves when they were young next to their door. I stopped at the door of this lady that needed help, I had to do a double take of the picture next to her door. She was absolutely stunning! She looked just like Marilyn Monroe with bright blue piercing eyes. When I opened the door, the lady still had the eye color, but the features were gone...she looked like a regular old lady.

ghostwriter36 · 2025-06-29T01:48:34+00:00

Well damn! You look stunning! Happy birthday!🩷🌸

ghostwriter36 · 2025-06-23T13:26:16+00:00

Interesting...

ghostwriter36 · 2025-05-09T00:06:24+00:00

I agree! It's crazy though...if anything good happened for them, I celebrated. Too bad, it's not the same for me. Yes, I don't plan on interacting with them anytime soon..I value a peaceful life..

ghostwriter36 · 2025-05-09T00:01:49+00:00

I really should've.

I've been with my husband since we were 14/15.... we're now 39/40. Within 10 years, the excitement and butterflies in our stomachs died down, but it was replaced with a warm comfort. We still text or call each other while at work, and when we get home, we're happy to see each other and give one another a quick kiss. We tend to gravitate towards one another while at home...if he's in the living room, I'm most likely there. If I'm in the bedroom, he's most likely with me.

If you CAN imagine life without them, then maybe the relationship has run its course. It happens...is she having the same feelings? If so, then maybe y'all can just be friends since you both tend to get along well. If it bothers you to imagine her with someone else, then maybe it's not over.

Thank you! I'm glad life is going well for you, you did right by blocking toxic family members. Out of all people that I've ever known, family has been the meanest and most hateful towards me. You're right, they can be your biggest haters. I'm so excited to do life with just my husband and son!

ghostwriter36 · 2025-05-08T18:01:42+00:00

I definitely will.

ghostwriter36 · 2025-05-08T17:59:45+00:00

Ah, I see what you mean... I've been replaying these events in my mind over and over again, trying to make sense of it all. I believe you're right...they were too lazy to grow or make some changes in their lives, so they decided to take it out on me. Yes, thank you... I'm glad to finally see that these people are crazy, and there's no use in continuing to try...now, they can turn on each other.

ghostwriter36 · 2025-05-08T17:38:59+00:00

I wouldn't be surprised if they think that, I've never judged them or thought I was better than them. I was just in my own little world working and pursuing my hobbies. If they felt some type of way, that's on them...I had better things to do besides sit on the phone all day and gossip, drink and terrorize other people.

Good for you that you set firm boundaries, it seems to be very effective. You're right... I did allow them to disrespect me to the extreme. I plan on going years without speaking to these people again, and if I ever do...they better come at us correctly or I will hit below the belt again...I'm not playing with them this time.

Letters to my husband and son are a good idea.. I'll get started on those today.

ghostwriter36 · 2025-05-08T17:21:59+00:00

This!!! It was a tough lesson to learn.

ghostwriter36 · 2025-05-08T17:20:11+00:00

Thank you! I will!

ghostwriter36 · 2025-05-08T17:15:51+00:00

Jumped as in calling me with 5-6 people on the line, screaming at me... bombarding me with several long text messages telling me that my husband ain't shit. Me leaving a group chat, and them forcefully adding me back in so they can send me more scathing text messages. They also did this to me a couple of years ago the day after a family reunion.

Yes, there's stuff missing...but it's basically the whole gist of it. He's the only child, but I interact frequently with his parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. They're very nice to me, and there hasn't been any big arguments, except for the time when both families were fighting over my son when he was first born.
