This is a hard decision for me to make, but it's something I have to do.
I'm not sure when I will go through with this, but it will be soon, I know that much.
I need to sort out my life, and can't really do that when I have to focus on work every day.
My body can't handle the work anymore and I may look into getting onto disability in the near future.
I need to make sure that I have some sort of income, and I know that will be hard, but I know I'll figure it out soon enough.
For now, I still have to work, so I will do so.

I remember when I decided that about one of my jobs. It was hard, but it was a relief at the same time.

Do you ever do mystery shopping? I started doing that in October and have made quite a bit. It supplements my disability payments. What are you doing these days? This discussion was posted 3 months ago and I'm sure it is no longer current. I hope things are going well for you now. Happy New Year!!!

I gave up on mystery shopping when I was denied each and every phone shop I had applied for several times. Having free long distance meant I could do these jobs and not have a problem with getting them done.
Nothing has changed, but there is a little more online work coming in for me, which always helps.

I'm glad you have been able to find a little more online work. I wish I could make some suggestions that would work for you. Hopefully things will start working for you soon.

Hello Kris,
This is reality of life we need to do work to have source of income to feed ourself.From your discussion it is not clear what you are going through but it looks as if you are not happy with your job.
You should change a job if you are not happy with your present job but be sure don't leave the job till you have a source of income otherwise it will be difficult for you to survive.
Hope you get a better job soon.![](/Content/images/emotes/thumbup.gif)

Hi kris182_2000, my sister was in the same situation that you are in. She is a single person and has a lot of disability going on in her body (health). She needed an income, had to work, needed money to pay her bills. However with trust in God she made it. She is now on disability. It wasn't easy she had to get a lawyer but she got it. You have to ask God for guidance in this matter. I pray that you find the right solution.

Choose a career based on personal satisfaction rather than earning potential...
The ingredients necessary to produce genuine happiness vary from person to person, but one thing is true for all- material wealth or possessions never fully satisfy the inner longings of the human heart. Neither do they establish self-worth and fulfill our inner need for love.

I quit my job five years ago so that I could stay at home and raise my children. At the time that was the decision that seemed to make the most sense to us and even now as we look forward to our youngest child starting school in just a few months, we still know that it was the right decision to have made. It is quite an adjustment to make between working and not working, but it is something that is very much worth it.

Hi Kris,
I know how you feel. I feel the same as well. I think I need to stop my current job, like too tiring doing it. If it's not because I need the bucks, I won't keep doing it. I just keep on telling myself that everything will turn out right at the end. So, I just keep doing what I am doing and trying my best to find what I love to do and pray deep inside my heart that someday, this will turn out to be something that earn me bucks to pay all my bills.
Let's never give up hope! The sun will finally come at the end. :)

If you're no longer happy with your current job, then it's better to quit. But before quitting, make sure you have find another job already. Nowadays, it's so hard to find one and you can't just throw one away. There are so many people looking for a job and competing with you in finding one. So, find one first before quitting so you will still have an income.

Hello Kris...First of all, You have to seek for a good job that gives you satisfaction.And then resign from the present one. We have to enjoy the things what ever we do. Most of the people are not satisfied with their job. But they just keep silence for earning.You have to take care of your health too. Otherwise it will effect on works.Just do what you think.Wish you all the best.. :-)

Hello Kris. From time to time, we have to make changes to re-orient and re-locate. I understand some types of jobs are too strenuous. Now, do you have career goals, the type of job you would prefer and enjoy ? I wish you will find the ideal job you are looking for !

Kris I know you have been having a hard time with this job, and I find that you are completely under appreciated for all your loyalty there. As for disability, it is not something easy to get unless you have been under some form of treatment, and even then sometimes it is not a guarantee.
I know the best thing is to get rid of this job, but then having no income at all will be tough to deal with. Maybe you can take a few days here and there and start seeking other employment first. Sometimes it is not easy to find a job if you are not currently working.
Do what is right for you but be sure you weigh the pros and cons.
