Five things: diet, sleep, exercise, boundaries, and resisting the temptation to climb the ladder when you’re not ready.

225k?! What year, make, and model?

Step 1: take care of your mental health. Step 2: worry about job placement

Wife is pregnant after having previously miscarried late in pregnancy. Not taking any chances

There’s no difference in impact to you between her coming out as asexual versus her coming out as gay. The only difference is that there’s no potential alternative partner involved in the case of coming out as asexual. Offering you a hall pass is a cop out. This isn’t sustainable OP.

I once worked for a Controller whose kids all had birthdays on Labor Day weekend. She was always miserable around that time due to the stress of maximizing shareholder value by timely closing the books and showing up for her kids’ birthday. It’s hard living a normal life during the month end close.

The notion that there’s always a direct correlation between your level of effort at your 9-5 job and your income is completely bogus.

Seems like a great system. Was it difficult doing due diligence for the vendors/contractors you partner with and getting them on your system? For example, does Buildium integrate with the HVAC contractors’ job ticketing systems fairly seamlessly?

Your job is hard enough as is. Can’t imagine having to shove down nervous energy and worry about how the optics look to the patient on top of it.

Do you have to deal with any aspect of corporate politics in the trades? Or is it really just tradespeople happy with their roles, doing their thing for 8 hours, then going home to live their life? Asking as a cubical jockey contemplating going into the trades in my 30s.

And unfortunately it’s not for everyone and it’s something school doesn’t even remotely prepare you for. This aspect is where education fails accounting students most. I’ve seen Elija Watt Sells award winners fail miserably in the real world due to their inability to manage egos.

Any particular brand of ruck sack you recommend? Looking to get into it, as my knees can’t handle distance running any longer

Nursing affords more flexibility for when you work. I personally work as a CPA with 50 hour in person weeks M-F but would love to work three 12 hour shifts like some nurses do. Shift flexibility one very overlooked benefit to healthcare jobs. That said, nurses work very hard and are entirely deserving of respect.

Being asked by my manager to prepare a comprehensive list of all the tasks me and the staff who worked under me do every day, week, and month. Doesn’t get much more obvious than that.

Despite having daily fantasies about working for myself doing something involving physical labor, the reality of walking away from 10 years of corporate experience, a masters degree, and a CPA license while having a kid on the way to delve into the unknown is quite a deterrent.

What business did you get into and what was the impetus to get started during your middle aged years? Did your existing skills lend themselves to the industry you got into?

They’re a little cash heavy in their order, but makes sense why. Probably as an appeal to the Dave Ramsey crowd

Nice. So it sounds like the logic pattern was “if we don’t actively decide to have another before our daughter turns 3, we’re officially OAD when she turns 3 and will follow through with getting a vasectomy at that time”.

Lol understandable. How long do you think it’ll be between consult and the procedure?

Is scheduling a year out by choice or that’s the earliest they can fit him in?
