Hoping WA will lead to an early retirement.

Wealthy Affiliate is my first venture into an online business. I found my way here while researching other online opportunities, and trying to find out if they were legitimate or just scams. I couldn't resist WA once I read some of the information on the WA website.

I currently have a full-time job. I generally like the work I do, and the people I work with. However, I experience more ongoing stress and frustration than I want to. This is mainly due to being overloaded, under appreciated, and held back from utilizing my most valuable skills.

I used to think I would keep working if I won the lottery because being good at my work was such a large part of my identity. I also wanted to work until I was much older so that I could have a lot more money when I retired. Now, I am simplifying my life and working to reduce expenses so I can retire comfortably, but on less, so it can happen sooner.

I'm very glad to have found WA. I've received so many welcomes and comments of encouragement. The WA website has a ton of training information. It will require an investment of my personal time to grow this, but that's ok... I'm working on my future, and taking control of shaping it to work for me and my wonderful husband, Steve.
