After 35 years working in finance roles I have had enough. Just got in from work, no lunch break to speak of as it's month end. Bosses think we're robots & want deadlines met yesterday. I have another 12 years of working life left & I just can't face it. Even a change in company hasn't helped. The money is pretty good so I should be grateful I suppose; but still the thought of another 12 years of this fills me with dread. I don''t know how to do anything else. My house is paid for so at age of 55 I wouldn't want to risk it by borrowing against it for a start up business.
I have thought about doing a course, but by the time I've finished work, had evening meal etc the night is gone. Don't even have time or energy for the gym, which is not doing my weight any good. Has anyone escaped this finance rat race in their mid 50's & still managed to earn a living?
