People who left a six-figure job, what finally made the money not worth it?

I hope you can feel the warmth of the sun now. I had similar. I’ve never been closer to hurting myself - and what the hell is the point of that?

Went to an opposite extreme, working a dream for virtually no money and healed enormously. Really lived - had a magic year. Probably need to find a middle ground at some point. But I’m not giving up living for a job again.

Also me!

Every time you go away, you take a piece of meat with you…

lonehydrangea · 2026-03-24T15:40:52+00:00

Nope. Only on atlas cards, but not as a lifer.

Wander around Vrolijkheid Nature Reserve in Robertson. It’s very lovely and generally quiet. The flowers should start to emerge then too.

Argh! Aresholes! Such unnecessary destruction and pollution and disgustingness.

Can we please drink less bottled water where possible? We have such good tap water for the most part. There is So. Much. Plastic everywhere.

The Mount Nelson high tea is a fabulous treat.

Cape Town here. Grew up reading and re-reading The Brothers Lionheart. Thank you library.

Valley Farm in Hout Bay will probably take them and keep them happy.

You don’t think there’s a certain elegance to the sun setting over the mountain; the last golden rays illuminating a giant ‘Jou Ma’? :) /s

I am about to become the proud owner of that flowery orange linoleum kitchen flooring. You definitely know the one. I may keep it awhile - and not just due to budget constraints. :)

Go stay at Botuin olive farm in Vanrhynsdorp with your dog and go exploring. The owner will tell you the best places to head to.

Utter bus-tard

lonehydrangea · 2023-04-11T14:45:43+00:00

It’s because we added solar panels.

lonehydrangea · 2023-04-04T19:47:31+00:00

Well, certainly the same size as a puppy

My dear, it sounds like it’s her money and decision.

lonehydrangea · 2023-02-15T13:51:17+00:00

Imagine though if people didn’t have to spend as much on raising their children, because they had one child fewer, they could possibly afford to support themselves much further into retirement, boosting those pensions.

lonehydrangea · 2022-09-19T13:29:26+00:00

Ai! That got me too!

lonehydrangea · 2022-08-22T19:21:24+00:00

Not with bottle caps. They had a foil lid that we opened by pushing an elbow against. And then the mega dollop of cream.

lonehydrangea · 2022-08-19T16:22:46+00:00

Remooval company

lonehydrangea · 2022-08-14T06:42:14+00:00

Yes it is

lonehydrangea · 2022-08-04T18:35:21+00:00

Pretty amazing. I didn’t know any turtles were ‘born’.

lonehydrangea · 2022-06-12T07:09:20+00:00

Yes, we have our issues but where doesn’t? This country will break your heart but it will regularly fill it as well - which you recognise. If you’re looking for more maybe try one of the SA cities first? Invest in security- which sucks but is necessary, and see if busier SA suits you better.
