Starting over/starting fresh-- what would you do?

Asked by serenade (3784points) July 1st, 2013

I’m in an interesting period lately where I’ve been more or less cocooning and focused on paying off debt. This month, I expect to become debt-free save a mortgage that is currently being paid for by tenants. I also just lost my job (which is fine, because it wasn’t a great fit), and my active friendships, relationships and other social obligations are really minimal right now. The landscape of my life right now is a vast expanse of emptiness, and that’s not a bad thing. In that regard, now would be a good time to go to an ashram in India or something and get enlightened.

My chief concerns at the moment are getting another job and finding a place to live. I’m lucky for the moment to live alone in what amounts to a housesitting arrangement, but that’s going away in a couple of months.

If you were in my position and this was your life, what would you do? I’m just looking for ideas and perspectives. I’m 40 if that matters.
