Question about money and lifestyle [View All]

[Droopy]

If my job holds up and no very large expenses come up I can be debt free in about 5 years including my home. I will be 40 then. Granted, I live in a little one bedroom condo, but it's good enough for me. I'm single and I don't have any children and I have no desire to change that.

What would you do next?

Would you just stay the course and save up as much money as you can in the hope that you can retire early?

Would you take up investing?

Would you sell the condo and buy a nicer home?

As a trucker, my job is pretty stressful this time of year given the weather that we get around here. Would you get a lower paying but less stressful job and just take it easy?

Would you buy a Hummer? :D

What else?

I'm leaning toward the lower paying but less stressful job option. There is no higher paying but less stressful option for me because the only marketable job skill that I have is driving a truck. If that weren't the case I'd already be there.
