I desperately want to quit my job and just be retired, but I’m afraid. I’m a single senior and although my job doesn’t pay much, it more than what I’d get from my measly pension and oas. But I feel like the stress of my job is making me really sick, so the life that I’m living is awful. I can’t decide if I’d be better off being a lot poorer but in better health, or if I should stick it out as long as I can. Is it worth ruining my health over a job just because I need the money long term? Or would it be better to at least have a few decent years of living before I die instead of just surviving each day at a job that makes me miserable? I have no energy left at the end of the day to do anything else. Take it from me: save for your retirement! Resist the urge to spend it when you’re young, because being forced to keep working when you’re old just to survive, is no way to live. If you can, SAVE.
