Starting not to love it so much
I really love my job. But apparently, my bank account doesn’t.
They say, “Do what you love, and the money will follow.” And maybe it will. But not in any way I can foresee at this job, with this company. I can’t see any reason why they’d give me a raise (as opposed to finding someone younger/cheaper), and my ability to supplement my income on the side is extremely limited by restrictions imposed by my employer.
Today I’m pulling even more out of ‘retirement’ funds to cover unexpected expenses. That makes 5 times in less than a year.
I love what I do, and I love the company I do it for, but it appears we are financially incompatible.
So, it’s time to start laying groundwork for something bigger.
