I can't say I didn't have a plan because I did have one but after a few years since quitting here are a few not so positive things that I didn't plan on. 1. Early mornings and late nights ----- I really thought I would be able to unwind and relax but I guess that is just not my nature. I still find it very difficult to turn off, the stresses and thoughts that used to center around my job gone but new ones have replaced them. Eg. Current ones are based on inflation and my savings burn rates, investment bubbles and on and on. 2. Loneliness ----- I really do miss having those daily interactions with coworkers, even the "useless" meetings. Things may be different now as I left long before Covid so it could be that those interactions are gone forever. 3. Weight Gain ----- Correlation isn't causation and it is also likely as much to do with my aging as not having a job, but not being on a daily schedule has contributed to the extra weight I am carrying. 4. Stigma from financial and services institutions ----- This one might be more of a personal perception but when starting relationships with banks, investment firms and even utility providers there are always questions regarding employment. I have a very healthy bank account but still feel it is more difficult to get a credit card for example without filling out the employer section. Anyways I don't want to stomp on anyone's dreams here, I just wanted to share a few things I found through personal experience. I am still content with my decision and the good outweighs the bad.
