If you've been thinking about quitting your job, you're in good company. Joblist reports that almost 48 million Americans quit a job in 2021.

But now, some are starting to regret that choice. In fact, in a recent survey, Joblist found that 26% of workers aren't happy with their decision to quit a job.

Now, you may have different reasons for wanting to leave your job. Maybe you're unhappy with your pay. Or maybe your salary is decent enough, but you find the work you do boring and uninspiring. You may even be thinking of quitting to escape a group of colleagues who are too competitive and cutthroat for your taste.

All of these are understandable reasons for bidding a job adieu. But the last thing you want to do is quit your job and regret it later. So to that end, take these three steps first.

Very well said, sir. I will throw one more thing out. I’m retired now and just got an 8.7% raise from social security.

Because I moved to a part of the country with a very low cost of living, it’s as though I was living in Seattle right now on today’s social security, but at the 1965 cost of living.
