I think I may have to take some sort of professional advice. Not so much financial ( investments now that's a bit of a laugh ) but career wise. I need to find something to work at that really interests me and I feel is useful and which doesn't involve me downsizing too much. If I don't change what I do now, I will end up with a large mortgage and no option but to continue as I am.   There's lots of adverts for Life coaches which don't appear to be what I need. Any one know the best way to approach this in the UK. Is there a clearing house somewhere to disaffected middle aged people ?
