I enjoyed being unemployed so much, I wish I could actually be retired.

I took some time off between jobs, left my last one August 29th, and started earlier than planned, my new one September 22nd.

During that time I was working on construction with my dad, my personal projects, and some great relaxing days.

That freedom is so addictive. I don't want to have to go to a job. It pays much better than I was making before, but that freedom. Nothing compares to that - in my mind.

Only 39, and already I want to be retired.
