Are You Afraid to Resign After 19 Years of Office Work?

I am secured working eight hours a day (maybe more) seven days a week. It was already a routine for 19 years. After getting my children ready for school, I rushed to dress up myself and head into my office. I usually had heated debates with my husband for being late in getting our kids from school and me from work after the end of the long work period. Imagine doing this routine for straight 19 years. Not a joke!

It took me two years to think before I finally made my decision. Ceasing to work in the office after nineteen years is a mixed emotion. How can I just end the routine without securing my family finances?

Yes, I’m not financially secured during that back and forth, up and down debates of finally ending my office work career. But I still decided to take the plunge and not end up in the pit of uncertainty.

I quit my job after two years of hard thinking. I finally decided to work from home and be my boss, be with my kids and become the Jackie of all trades right in the comfort of my home.

Even though I am financially spent, I left my job with big dreams of making something remarkable out of my decision. I continued working online (my sideline before) and now my main money earner. In no time, my hard work pays off. I started earning triple than what I was receiving monthly from my regular job of 19 years.

I am able to pay my bills on time and no longer at the mercy of deadlines. I really believe that working from home is a wonderful blessing from the Almighty. Gone are the days that I rushed every moment of the day just to be in time for work, meetings, seminars and other office responsibilities.

I’m the head of my office department…before. Now, I’m the manager of myself, managing my time, and not in a rush to be on time. I am my boss.

Thinking of taking the big leap too? Wait! You have to realize first that there is so much to change in your life if you want change. Think not twice but ten times ten before you gamble the future of your kids.

When we talk of personal finances, we are absolutely not on the same shoes. However, with what I learned, you might want to start.
