Quitting without thinking(Take 2)
It was the summer of 2012 and my current role in banking was not doing it for me. The job was extremely boring and banking just does not always seem ethical... The bank had extremely low foot traffic, I was stuck within the four walls of the building and no one was working toward goals. The position was not a good fit for me. So I decided to pursue another part time job in food service where the pay would be higher, there would be much more human interaction and huge flexibility. Once I was offered the job, I gave my notice and organized a training trip to California the weekend before starting with the new employer.
Then all hell broke loose. My friend died. I lost all emotional control. My choices did not take into consideration that I was not financially viable without a part or full time job... I left my current job and backed away from the new opportunity that I really needed.
Looking at it under a logical lens years later. I had little savings which I blew through quickly and racked up thousands of dollars in loans and credit card balances in a very short time. All while taking on thousands of dollars of recurring expenses and having zero revenue dollars to work off of. This is what hell looked like for me for nearly three years.
There was absolutely no thought or logic behind this decision which really set me way back in many ways from social, emotional, business, relationships, financially and more...
