luxury cars yahoo answers image

So, I have been working 2 or more jobs since I was legally allowed to work. I am 35 now. I worked in every local hospital, in every department. I also worked for 2 local EMS services. I am currently a manager of an Internal Medicine practice and I am a lab director and a professor at a local college. (Both are full time jobs) Last year I had a minor heart attack and my physician suggested I take it easy. Well I did not listen and continued to work about 80 hours per week. Lately I have been feeling a lot of pressure again, so I finally decided to go down to working only one job - teaching. But now, I have been feeling very anxious and I am staring to have second thoughts. I am addicted to my high lifestyle: new cars, several homes, a very nice bank account and everything (I mean everything) my kids and wife desire. How do I deal with the anxiety of having to work one job? And is there a point of living, if you can't live it in luxury?
I am in full realization, that I am on Yahoo answers looking for guidance. I just got tired of cheesy crap my family and friends been giving me. It is not helping my anxiety of a 40 hour work week.
Answer
your anxiety stems from a problem that's quite unique. to answer this question more accurately i'd have to ask you a few questions. how does your family feel about you working two jobs? one job? are they concerned with the "luxuries" in your life as much as you are? i think your wife would prefer to have a husband a few more years, and your children a father rather than any amount of money. you sound very successful and motivated, i'd recommend becoming involved in something with the free time you have that doesn't benefit your wallet as much as it does your own personal happiness, or the community's. maybe coach one of your child's sports teams?
personally if working forty hours a week was my problem i'd use my newly acquainted time to explore some hobbies. do you own a boat? maybe pick up a paint brush? have you every brewed a beer? as cliche as they sound, you might find yourself more enthused after an attempt.
a more appropriate question.. is there a point of living if you aren't happy? do you require such a lavish lifestyle to be happy?
another seemingly relevant question. are you proud of what you've done in your life?
it sounds like you should be.
i'm no expert, but i do hope this helps and doesnt fall under the same category the other advice you've received has.
good luck 30 years down the road too, if anyone can still benefit from retiring by then..

Is there any way to do this? They completely screwed me. I traded a 2010 Prius for an 07 Audi a3 it's nice and fast but the sticker on it had the wrong mpg on it, they listed it For 30mpg when it really only gets about 18 and I really regret and miss it. They have my car listed on their site for 19,000 already andthe one I got Off their site was listed at 12,000. I was pressured. Get it the very next day with the tricks of it won't be here tomorrow someones coming to look at it now. Is there anything I can do?? Don't call me stupid and say no, that's NOT an answer and I will make sure to spam your answer.

All I did was to Google the vehicle to find this information. You were not screwed and the estimated MPG is posted online for anyone to find it. Your words, "nice and fast." When you drive "nice and fast" then not matter what the estimated MPG is indicated online, on the sticker, etc. goes out the door. I know how to drive a Prius to get 19 MPG. I also know how to drive a Prius to exceed the posted MPG. I have a 2008 Mercury Mariner hybrid and the estimated MPG is about 30 MPG. Last night on a 10 mile run, I recorded 38.2 MPG. What you are experiencing is called Buyer's Remorse. It is a classic human characteristic. If you went into this dealership unarmed, uninformed and with googly eyes towards a luxury brand vehicle, an Audi, then you, as the person in control of your destiny, made a decision and signed a sales contract. A contract is final when signatures are placed on the paper. Very sorry that you feel this way but a 2010 Prius is THE MPG champ on the market and obviously you were bored with the slow go performance and wanted more Umph! in your driving time. So, you got the Umph! and now you need to learn how to operate this car efficiently. But it is not a Prius. Nothing is. These are hard lessons to accept but what is done is done. There is absolutely nothing you can do but relax and get to appreciate the car in your garage or parking spot. Remember, anytime you go against a professional without proper defensive shields operating, you shall lose the match. So, have the Audi checked out at a mechanic since apparently you did not do that before the sale. This car is in the 70,000 mile range and maybe in need of a schedule service. This is a nice car and it is quite a step up in quality, performance and status from the Prius. I have owned a 2001 Audi TT Roadster since 2002. It took me three years to find it. I still have and it is a great source of fun and driving enjoyment. I use the ECON mode of the AC to save about two to three MPGs. I drive steady at 60 MPH on cruise to minimize fuel usage. I park quickly and away from other cars and I have zero dings on the car. I look ahead to coast to a stop and unless I have it at the MId-Ohio track taking lessons it is driven in moderation. I get comments all of the time. In fact, your A3, with 200 HP and 207 ft-lb. of torque can beat my car with 180 Hp and sub 200 ft-lbs. of torque. Oh, rather than premium fuel, I have used regular for over 10 years without any ill effects. I use synthetic blend engine oil and I have it serviced every six months. It is all original except for an alternator and one coil. Of course, shocks and struts are changed at 50,000 to 70,000 miles. And everything works except for the worthless headlight washer system. I took that out as the left side kept breaking for a reason Audi mechanics could not, or would not, locate. Best of luck.
