I'm always looking for new opportunities, but it would take a huge amount of money to pry me loose from here. It would have to involve the warning beep of an armored car.

Do you need to find any job you can to pay the bills?

Fortunately, not any more.

Would you apply for jobs in a different city than the one you live in now?

My job/career is completely portable, and I could go do it in Barrow, AK if I wanted. It would make it tougher, but it's possible.

Would you want to take 3, 6, 12 months off to travel the world?

I'll do that in 20 years. I've done enough traveling of the world for now.

Would you just take a few months off to unwind?

No, it would cost me too much.

Would you stay home and watch your kid(s) instead of sending them to day care?

No, but my wife wants to, so she does.

Do you have enough saved up to retire?
|
At this moment, no. I've got enough to completely take a few years off but not enough to never work again. The plan is to work another 15-20 years, then semi-retire and teach or something (7 or 8 options at this point) and then completely retire. I'm ahead of schedule now, but that will change while I'm funding for the kid's education.

Have you ever thought about it or have some other idea planned?

I have a very detailed but flexible plan for the next 25 years. I've even got guesses on the insurance market cycles.
