I know a guy who quit his high paying tech job and now stocks produce at the Whole Foods. He is happy with the decision. I don't think I'm ready.
I'm ready. Unfortunately, at 53 my projected post-employment income is not. So I have no choice but to keep on. I also work in the tech sector and although I have absolutely no complaints about my pay, but I don't know if it qualifies as "high paying" within that context. Still, I'd take a 'doable' cut in pay any day to do something else, but I don't see that happening.
