Big decisions, work

Making that 2008 command decision to retire in 2014 was semi-easy.

The motivation was compelling. Do not squander your son’s final four high school years by being a constant globe trotter for Disney Institute.

This looming decision to permanently quit working is familiar in its potential impact. The key word is ‘potential’. There are no guarantees with potential. Only possibilities, no guarantees.

Note: The original early-retirement catalyst was the 2008-09 USA Real Estate and Banking collapse. This led to Cast Member reductions (aka terminations). For the first time in my 25 years, the reality that no one is safe struck hard. Decided the over-focused thing would be to create a Plan B should the worst ever happen again.
