Would you ever

without going into detail, would you ever quit your job with no fall back?

Re: Would you ever

i have, yes...

Re: Would you ever

i did when i was living at home but i dont think i could do it now

Re: Would you ever

nope. I have a mortgage and too many bills.

Re: Would you ever

it would need to be a really horrible situation. like i came home crying every night

i quit a summer job before without a fallback. but i was in college at the time, and found another PT job relatively quickly/easily.

Re: Would you ever

I've been on verge many times (my boss is just horrible) but I know I really can't. We have to many bills and can't live off one salary.

Re: Would you ever

I'd love to, but I work with DH and ILs. DH would prob hate me a little and ILs would definitely know it was bc I hated working for them.

If it wasn't DH and ILs... I prob would have left a loooong time ago and possibly without a fall back since I used to leave here crying a lot.

I have an old job that would prob take me back, even just sometimes, like as a sub.
That alwaaaays went through my mind...

Do you have anything like that? An old P/T job with ppl you're on good terms with?

Re: Would you ever

i *would* if i knew that DH and I could survive off of his salary ... but since we can't, i wouldn't do it.

I told DH to quit the job he had when we first started dating though because they paid him sooo little and made him work 80 hours a week (and they were huuuuge a$$holes) ... so it was worth quitting that job without a fallback.

Re: Would you ever

right now I would never. but I did get myself fired a few yrs ago from a job I detested and I wanted to get unemployment.
a month and a half later I got my current job, but it was nice knowing that at least those unemployment $ were coming in

Re: Would you ever

nope..
mortgage, bills, our lifestyle... theres no way i could do it

Re: Would you ever

I have in the past...... but I wouldn't now.

Re: Would you ever

It would either have to be pretty extreme or planned.

I have worked a job where I came home crying every night, but I stuck it out until I got a new job and boy did it feel good to go into my boss's office and hand her my two weeks notice.

Re: Would you ever

If things were really bad, I would but I'd make sure we're covered with bills, etc., first. I've done it before, but that's only because I saved up enough to be able to take the summer off.

Re: Would you ever

ive never. i dont have the balls

Re: Would you ever

No, I couldn't.

Re: Would you ever

I want to sometimes... but I don't want to put DH through that, so I haven't.

Re: Would you ever

I was considering this for a little while...but good sense prevailed. We have enough savings that we would have been totally fine for months but DH would have been really upset, so that was that.

Re: Would you ever

I did, but it's because DH got a way better job that required us to move.

Re: Would you ever

Nope - wouldn't be able to do it - too many bills and couldn't live on DH's salary.

Re: Would you ever

I don't think that I would.
