Green Retirement

Kurt Warner retired early from football.  No longer willing to take the beating he was getting on the job, Kurt Warner retired with one year left on his contract, giving up a reported $11 million.

Having accomplished much more in his career, than most NFL quarterbacks ever do, Kurt Warner decided to leave the game while his head was still securely attached to his body.  Even if it meant giving up a lot of money.

When asked shortly before he retired, how his family felt about him retiring, Kurt Warner responded that two of his daughters told him that they “don’t care anything about football so, ‘If you don’t have to get beat up anymore, we’d rather have you home.’ ”

Kurt Warner’s retirement holds a lesson for many individuals, who have had successful careers, but find themselves getting beaten up on the job.  There is no shame in retiring early.  Your family doesn’t care about your career, they’d rather have you home and alive, instead of dead on the job.

If you have accomplished everything you set out to in your career, but your family is concerned that your job is killing you, maybe it’s time to hang up the cleats and retire early.
