Are you winning? Create a personal scoreboard. Track what matters to you and watch progress skyrocket. Keep #score!
Manage people? Make sure they all have a #scoreboard. Nothing demotivates like not knowing the score.
"Retired" is an interesting concept, with many definitions. I think they can still make additional income from their passions to supplement the draw down of the 1.8 million. That's not a lot of retirement money (to me it wouldn't be enough), BUT depends on where they live, lifestyle, etc.
@SteveOnSpeed I think never allowing yourself to be in a situation where you would want to tell your boss that would be the ultimate act of self care.
And I would argue that you will never have "F-you" money in your bank account if you are working for people you want to say that to.
@MarketPalmer_ Haha let's be real though... you spent one day out of the four years dissecting the frog... We all wished we would have had more time on that.
