A half-step idea is moving to Denver.
Yeah, there or somewhere else worth visiting. :-)
This time, it would be a total good-bye to Iowa. Not a dual-citizenship kinda
thing.
That's a major improvement, all by itself.
There are a ton
of jobs in the telecom industry there, and my recruiter is trying to
get me to relocate there. The money is REALLY good, but I'm also a
little concerned about just jumping into more of the same.
That isn't "necessarily" bad.
On the photography side of things, I'm not necessarily at a
cross-roads, but am finding a new vision that goes a direction that
might get pretty radical. Again, I'm not looking for more of the same,
but a completely different direction.
It would be nice if you find an outlet for your wilder imaging dreams that
produces a real income stream.

We're finally ready.
Hoping that the company offers another early retirement package--I'll take it.
One of my brothers did that, then took a few years off. Now, he will likely work 'til he drops. At least he likes what
he's doing now. Likely he'd go crazy being retired the way I am, just as I'd go crazy working at my age.
"more of the same" isn't necessarily bad. I did that, although "the same" varied, sometimes crap, sometimes pretty good.
The payoff was being able to retire at 55. I expected to be living the life of financial straits from early retirement,
but it's worked out far better than I imagined. A good part of that is due to the retirement plan and my always max.
401k contributions.
Switching around can be good, as long as it doesn't kill the goose that lays
the golden retirement eggs. :-)
But, at this time, I have no idea what I want to do. The world is my
oyster. I'm like a teenager again, hitting the "reset button" on life.
Keep your eyes and heart open, and see what shows up. I wish you the best
possible result!
