If someone has a chance to do a job that will make them happier I say do it now too. Hi Ari, you are right. I was talking about finding a way to move into a career that will bring more joy. Sometimes it takes a little time, but we just have to keep plugging away and never give up. Hi Marelisa, I'm not in my friends position, but my far reaching goal is to get there sooner than later. It will take hard work, but I'm looking forward to it. Hi Sara, I understand that you are torn. I'm torn too. It just depends on what is most important to you. I think it's the same problem as saving every penny or having fun now. We miss out in some way or another. Hi Mike, I agree with doing something more meaningful,.

Hi Ari, you are right. I was talking about finding a way to move into a career that will bring more joy. Sometimes it takes a little time, but we just have to keep plugging away and never give up.

Hi Marelisa, I’m not in my friends position, but my far reaching goal is to get there sooner than later. It will take hard work, but I’m looking forward to it.

Hi Sara, I understand that you are torn. I’m torn too. It just depends on what is most important to you. I think it’s the same problem as saving every penny or having fun now. We miss out in some way or another.

With careful planning he was able to both secure his financial life and go after his dreams. It sounds like you're also moving in that same direction. <em>Marelisa's last blog post..<a href='http://abundance-blog.marelisa-online.com/2008/10/20/be-happy-now-set-goals-without-postponing-joy/' rel="nofollow">Be Happy Now - Set Goals Without Postponing Joy</a></em> Hi Karl: I think your friend is very inspirational.

That said, I have a problem with the word "retire" -- I don't work or live for retirement, and I don't believe you're really talking about retirement, either. What you're talking about is coming up with means to transition into a career of your dreams, where the working itself is the joy and the reward. ari <em>Ari Koinuma's last blog post..<a href='http://ourbestversion.com/2008/10/book-review-steve-pavlinas-personal-development-for-smart-people/' rel="nofollow">Book Review: Steve Pavlina’s Personal Development for Smart People</a></em> Hi Karl,

Hmmm, it’s quite impressive that your friend saved enough to become a park ranger at age 37. That said, I have a problem with the word “retire” — I don’t work or live for retirement, and I don’t believe you’re really talking about retirement, either.

I share many of the same feelings regarding that burning desire to retire (read no more daily grind) young and am battling the choice of waiting for that (I have over tens years to go) or to take time (months to a year) off now, love it and then go back to work for a bit longer to make up the difference. I guess I generally advice people to change based on how they enjoy their work and what they feel they contribute and gain by that work. If there work is not important to them, I don't encourage them to stay. If you can change your work to be more meaningful and be happier, then that is a no brainer. Do it now! <em>Mike King's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LearnThis/~3/422605620/' rel="nofollow">Being Your Best in the Worst of Times</a></em> Hi Karl, great article.
