Hammer1 need not respond, in fact I'd like Jack to just ban him from the thread from the word go.

If your reply is "Professional basketball player" and you're 5'4'' and can't play worth a damn that's not what I'm talking about, I mean within the confines of everyday life how would you spend your days if you could? This thread is not about The Trooper, but I'm certain he gets so much hate because people are jealous that they can't just pack it up do whatever it is they want in life. They don't have the means or they don't have the guts to walk away from their comfort zone. You gotta believe Trooper took some risks going to Vegas on a limited roll like he did. I'm rooting for him.
As for the rest of us, what do you want to do and what stops you from doing it? Life, as I've been reminded lately, is short. You don't know how long you get so maybe making the most of it is more important than that comfort zone we all seek. I'd love to live in Vegas, or by a beach, but what I'd like right now is just less stress from my day to day job. It's a job that treats me well, pays me well and still has a pension plan that I am 20 years into. It's been a real struggle recently. Too many hours, not enough support, etc... and it's not getting better anytime soon.
I'm struggling with the thoughts of walking away from it, but I'm walking away from a lot. Good pay, 5 weeks vacation, make my own schedule, pension, etc...., but I hate it anymore. Financially the only right move is to stay where I am, but shouldn't life be more important than that? What about enjoying the limited days we get?
We all have obligations, wives, kids, bills, etc... and the ability to provide for all of that can't be discounted. My kids both start college in the fall and maybe it's an excuse to put everything on the backburner but I'm thinking a four year plan to "start over" is in order.
Anyone here ever walked away from a good job they knew they couldn't replace? Do you regret it or maybe even recommend it?
