You always enjoy telling others how to live their life...
That's really arrogant.
When that time comes?

There is a fine line between confidence and arrogance. I tend to blur that line most of the time.
Been In Brown Too Long
Ex-Package Donkey
And wrong! I've saved and prepared from day one at UPS so I could leave whenever I felt the need. I feel the need! I've worked really hard for 31 years, and I'm going to enjoy life for a while. Certainly not going to work right up to going into an old folks home, broken. I'm only on this big rock once, and UPS will just be one chapter, not the whole book!
Unfortunately too many other drivers don't do that. Gotta have that 50k pickup truck, a big house and multiple cruises... No money for a 401k

Funny thing. I bought a brand new pickup in '90, 15k. Would be driving it today if it weren't stolen out of the UPS lot in '03 during one of my many 13hr days. Thieves were on to the fact that once we were there at 8:30, they had all day to go shopping in our lot. Forced to buy another in 2003, still going strong.

Nothing wrong with having a nice vehicle if that's what you want. But you have to spend less than you make and save some. You still have to live a little bit. Some people can't find that balance.

Got a 2004 Tacoma, only new vehicle I've ever had.
Will be driving it for many more miles.
Paid cash for a used 65 Chevy pickup when I got out of the Navy. No car payment for 21 years.
I have never known anybody as dense as you. I can retire today at $7000 a month. Give up a job that pays $95K a year? I'm still 59 and I like to make money. Why is that so hard to get in your head? I'm happy with my life just the way it is. You are the one that needs "to figure this out".

With only 16 working days left I have it all figured out.
If you are going to stay stop whining about the job.

Oh boy, only 16 working days and then you'll be gone from BrownCafe.
You are going to go nuts without having a schedule of things to do.

You are not wrong about that.
Doesn't sound to me that you have figured out much at all. You hate your job and are leaving, good for you.
Still got some of that military in you?

I am leaving because I have satisfied the age and years of service.
I am leaving to start the next phase in my life.
I am leaving to allow a PTer to move up.
I am leaving to play Papa.
