How did we get ourselves into this whole situation? Well, it all began about 2 years ago. My husband had been working for a Fortune 500 company for about 25 years. The work environment at this company had been getting worse by the day. For the first time that I can remember, my husband became unhappy in his job. To make matters worse, it was taking a toll on him physically. He just started looking stressed and unhappy. During this time the company was not doing well. They began to offer severance packages for those who had been around for a long time. Actually, they wanted to get rid of the "older" employees. You would think someone in their "40's" is not that old. Many, many discussions took place regarding what to do. At the time, we thought it would be easy for my husband to get another job. Plus, he would be able to take some much needed time off. For once in our lives, we decided to do something that was totally impractical and almost crazy. We assumed that he would have no problem finding another job. So ...... we did it!!
