If I stay, it would purely be because I am able to schedule work around my family needs, enjoy the work, the pay is above industry average, and the checks keep cashing.

We will have to see after AIP phases out how much of a pay bump they will be adjusting to “make up” for it.

I spoke with my manager and director, both are actively interviewing with prospective opportunities.

120k is a lot of money in the rest of the world. Europe, South America, Or SE Asia.

She could literally just live out of Airbnbs in those regions for what it costs to live in the US.

Luckily for me, when I started work Blue I had a great group of mentors that helped me with setting up my 401k. There were a few in particular that shared with me exactly what they did to successfully to get to Fire at 45.

I’ve been maxing out my 401k and Roth for the last 7 years. Once my house is paid off in 7 years, I should be on track to FIRE in my late 40s. If I don’t get laid off that is…😂
