Hi Free Rangers. How's work going for you? We hope your job is fulfilling and meeting your needs. At this stage in life, many of us find comfort in our jobs. It can give you a sense of confidence being the person in the office that others turn to when they have a question. Maybe your job has a great retirement plan or you just got that big promotion. Job satisfaction is an important part of our work-life balance.

But what if things are not going well. What if you are not making enough money and keep getting overlooked for raises? What if your job is taking more than you can give? It's a scary idea, but you may need to consider changing jobs during mid-life. Could you really maintain this level of work and unhappiness for the next decade?

During this episode, we discuss the possibility of changing jobs when you are close to retirement. It's more than just a higher salary. There are many factors to consider. Amy and Sara share their current job experiences. Amy is 54 and changing industries. Sara is 57 and happy in her job, but feeling overworked doing the work of several employees. Many companies are still rebounding from the pandemic and nervous about hiring additional staff to meet the needs of the company.

Changing jobs later in life is a big, but doable step. If this something that you are seriously considering, now is the time to educate yourself. Consider talking to a financial advisor or life coach to help you embrace this change with confidence.

Thanks for listening.
