I’ve heard from many and experienced myself the Sunday Scaries. That is the worry and anxiety of having to go to work on Monday but thinking about it all day on Sunday. Worrying that much on Sunday does not make it feel like a weekend. The thought of figuring out what needs to get done come Monday takes over your Sunday. With my early retirement I have no more dreaded Sunday Scaries!

Figuring out what needs to get done on Sunday just made more work for me. I would often log into work, check my emails, and prep some tasks for Monday. By checking my emails, the anxiety and stress levels would spike up and ruin my Sunday. My thoughts wouldn’t be focused on having fun with the family or friends. It would be consumed with thoughts of work.

Now, my Sundays are filled with church, family time, shopping, cooking, talking, and enjoying every minute. There is no hurry or stress on what I’ll wear the next day, packing my lunch, figuring out who will drop and pick up the kids, worrying about traffic or will there be delays on the metro system. These are all the things I used to stress about. No more!

How did I get here? Through years of investing, saving, money hacks, real estate, and good financial habits have allowed me to reach my goal of financial independence and retire early.

The amount of stress and anxiety from the Sunday Scaries is no more with early retirement. Spend your Sundays focusing on the things that you want to and not worry about Monday’s work tasks. You, too, can experience no more dreaded Sunday Scaries. Find your financial independence goal and start the journey.
