Life changing

[JimfromOhio]

Ever since I cut back lurking and posting here in CF, my life is more productive and less stressful. I even started setting up my "pre-retirement" home-based bookkeeping business. I am planning to start a business this year so when I retire in about 2 years, I will have a second income along with my pension.

I am doing my own biblical study and research without getting into debates with others.

Now, I just lurk most of the time and post less.

I don't miss debating, especially politics.

Real life comes first and I find that getting on the internet can be REAL time consuming.

Glad you have a plan for retirement. I have about 5 years to go yet for sure.

I've had less time to spend on forums lately and I've found it to be a positive thing too. I find I care a lot less about the drama. It's a better balance for me. It's far too easy to care too much about something as silly as a forum. There's no way anything on the Internet should have so much power over how my day goes! lol

Yes. Debating over petty issues consumed my time rather than being productive in "good debates".

I am eligible to retire in 2 years but probably will work for 5 more years. However, I am starting a business to get my feet grounded so I can be ready financially by the time I retire.

Yes, drama consumes people's lives. I found drama not productive, in fact, they are so negative that it breeds other areas of our lives.

I've been doing the same Jim, but I do miss the friendship stuff, but more importantly I'm talking to my wife more, and she is, well, pretty important to me.

And how young would you be in 5 years? Glad to see you were promoted to an Admin, you deserve it I'm still mulling around whether to return to staff this winter,

Due to some Christians who bicker and not really compliant to the rules, I chose not to be moderator. I just don't have the patience.
