I ended up in financial services, which to be honest is not enormously fulfilling. Maximizing shareholder value....yahoo
I have a nice house, great kids and a wonderful wife and a solid pension to look forward to.
However, I don't get the work fulfillment that other folks may get.
I've considered a change of careers to perhaps teaching, but the impact financially is a bit too steep and I'm risk averse when it comes to my families finances.
Instead, I focus on saving as much money as I can so that I can retire early and hopefully healthy. In the meantime, I try to enjoy my life outside of work with the kids, travel and car hobbies.
With any luck, I hope to retire in my mid fifties (9 years from now) and enjoy phase 2 of my life:
-more time with my wife and kids
-snowboarding in the winter
-classic car restoration in the garage
-a bit of travel
-perhaps get a degree in philosophy
-more painting (of the art kind)
-more model building
-more nooners!
