Good for you!
I was stuck in the rat-race for 15+ years. I was making decent money, but I hated it. Then the company I was working for got bought out by a bigger one, and I took the opportunity to get a small severance package and bail out. One day, as my severance was running low, I was in a local bakery buying bread, and on the spur of the moment I asked if they were hiring. They were. I am now in my 7th year at the bakery, and I've never been happier!
It was scary -- my income was cut nearly in half, and I had to make some lifestyle adjustments. I got rid of all my credit cards, got rid of my car and bought a used car that was paid for in full. But I found that money isn't everything (it's A LOT, but not everything) and the peace of mind I gained far outweighed the financial negatives.
The best part? Never having to wear pantyhose again!
