Friday Faves: Quitting Your Job Edition

Aaron and I both lost a little time this month as neither one of us could believe it was time for the fourth edition of our Friday Faves!

But the time is here again and we’ve got a good round-up of posts for you this week. Over the past couple of weeks, it seems that lots of posts have been focused on what you should or shouldn’t do when quitting your job, or what you might be feeling when it’s time to take the plunge. Since I am planning to leave my full-time job in the near future (hopefully), I always find these posts interesting and I hope you do too! Here they are for your reading pleasure:
