New Life

As I sit here at my job I realize how much I want a new life. I've been in manufacturing my entire life. I started working for my father when I was 18. I bought his business when he retired in 1990. I was 28 years old. I sold my business 10 years later and worked for the man that bought my business for another 6 years. I now work for one of my competitors where I am making an honest living. Though I am grateful for the life I built since I started in manufacturing, I am burnt out. I need something new. I grow tired of going to work every day and not feeling very important at what I do. I've been married for 28 years and have raised 2 wonderful children and I wouldn't change that for the world and I'm very happy with that part of my life. But I need a change in my working life. I'm 56 years old. That's why Wealthy Affiliate is very important right now. I see a light at the end of the tunnel and I think WA will change my life. It's not easy finding time to devote time to WA but I will do what I can do achieve my goals. One step at a time. I just needed to share this because I know WA community understanding and many members are going through the same rut as me. And I also wanted to say thank you to everybody and their inspiring comments and help. Here's to everyone's success on Wealthy Affiliate.

Your story resonates with me, Gary. I ought to say, though, that I was let go “too early” in what I was doing in higher education. I believe I was flowering at the time and then, “boom!” I was “too old” to stay. Yet my mind and body are still in good shape. Thank goodness I have discovered WA! I would be rounding the house following the sun, bored to death and surely heading to the grave! Thanks to this community, I look forward to being here daily to be invigorated.

Awesomeness!

Good luck with WA Mojalefa and I hope your dreams come true.

That's something I can relate to Gary. After working for other people for long years, at one point you feel there is nothing great about it except that you have to keep at it to keep continue with life. It's time to move on to something that make you feel you can achieve something great on your own.

Wishing you a great success here in WA.

You cannot imagine how much I feel you. I may not be the same age as you but for everything else I am in the same situation and I feel WA is the way out of this. Hopefully with work and determination we will be able to break free of our working dead end.

I'm pretty positive this will work.

I'm sure it will. But we need to work hard and have patience to see results.

Amen to that.

I was looking for baby pictures Gary!
