Open Question: Quit my job without another one?
I am a serial procrastinator. I recently moved to a big city about 1.5 hours from my work. I mostly did this 1) because I love that city and 2) I am not happy with my job and figured this would be a good step to getting another one. It didn't hurt that I was getting older, the first time homebuyer tax credit, etc etc.. I never really take chances so I did, but now I am really wussing out on the job finding thing. I've been working at my current position for 6 years, first job out of college. I hate it, but I *know* it. I find myself folding socks to avoid job searching. It's like I have a mental block that I'm terrified of change and therefore can't get myself motivated. Nooo, I'll just drive 3 hours a day to a job I hate for mediocre pay, that is MUCH preferable to anything else in the world. Anyway, I figure the only thing more scary than change would be destitution. I think if I quit my job without another one, I would be FORCED to find something else, pronto. I can live for quite some time on savings, but I think it would still be too freaking terrifying and therefore push me to move forward. It's been 5 months since I moved, that's nearly half a year, and I really haven't even tried that much. I am so miserable and tired and stressed from this job and now the commute. I have post grad college education and am really awesome in every way. Please someone tell me to move on!
