Quitting a decent paying job?

I'm in my mid 30's single, no kids, no girlfriend. Have a high school education with a little college(years ago), I live alone in modest apartment. No debt except for utilities, insurance. Recently, I've decided to trim my lifestyle so I could be debt free. I gave up my smartphone which was almost 90$ a month and went with a pay as you go flip phone. Sold my 2011 Honda accord with the 389$ a month payment, bought a paid for 2004 Ford Taurus. No car debt now. I always eat at home now. I make about 35k a year now, honestly the money is good for the job but I want out. Tired of the drama, political correctness and corporate baloney. Some of the people too ugh… I know if I quit I would have to start over again and take a major paycut. My family thinks I've lost my mind, tells me I would be foolish to quit but I can't take it anymore. Has anyone here ever walked away from a good paying job to save your sanity?

You really shouldn't quite unless you know for sure you'll get a better one.

Never quit a job, especially if it's a good paying job. It does not matter the circumstance. Never quit. The only way you should quit is if the choice is to keep the job and lose your life, or to lose the job and keep your life. That's the only time that you should quit.

Since you really want to quit, get hired elsewhere before you quit. Once you get hired at a new company, then quit this job. To quit now, and have no income at all would be putting yourself in a lot of trouble. No money for food, clothing or shelter is a bad thing.

Never quit your job until you have another one. At your age, it is much easier to get a job if you are currently employed.

Yes, I have done it, and for the same reasons. Follow your highest excitement, it always steers you the right way. I'm much happier now and am in a good position that allows me to keep improving.

  • Paying for Honda Loaner Car From Dealership while Paint Recall is Being Fixed? I'm going to be paying $33/day for (1 to 2 weeks) for a loaner car from my honda dealership while its away in the shop. Is there any flexibility in picking what car I want or do they automatically assign me a car. I feel like since i'm paying i should be able to pick what car I want, or even pay a little more for something nicer?
