Last day of work Dec 5th YIKES

I'm both terrified of the future and relived to have the what ifs of my job situation over...

I've been there over 8 years and have some great co-workers, I'll miss them dearly! For all of those years I was making a good wage, and was comfortable even after my divorce and able to survive... This pulls the rug on that and throws me into the great unknown of the unemployed.... The timing is both good and bad, when I was married I had a back up income, and wouldn't have panicked about the hows of getting by, on the other hand I only have me to look after now, with the kids grown...

The scary part is what to do next? Sell my house and take some of my equity to go back to school? Sell and move East where jobs are scarce but I have tons of friends and family and contacts? I've never faced major life changes on my own, been married since I was 17! So part of me is intrigued by the challenge, the other part terrified!! LOL

My friend is having similar circumstances right now and I'll tell you what I told her: No decision will be perfect. There will be highlights and downfalls. BUT - what will you regret NOT doing? Where do you actually see yourself? What would you be most happy with, even if it doesn't turn out exactly the way you planned?

Best of luck to you - I hate change and hate making Big Life Decisions even more. I understand how never wracking it is!
