I agree with this article 100%, and it makes me sad because that belief comes way too late to be of much use. I'm too damn old and established in various aspects of my life to try a lot of new things (things that are fundamentally and profoundly new to me, I mean) without blowing everything up. And I'm not willing to blow up my life. The simulated annealing that's possible with youth is astounding. I wish I hadn't been so stupid at the time.

I'm committed to my job for about the next six years, having already been in it about five years already. The people are great, the mission is pretty good, and the culture has some strong aspects. Having said that, I'm squirreling away most of my earnings so that I can make a careful step to my next career without needing to rush. It should be another one with pretty good earnings; tack those savings up with the ones from my current job, and the next job, when it comes, can be almost anything, with little regard for level of income. I guess what I'm saying is that I'm staying very conservative in my finances so I can stretch further in other dimensions of life without risk of over extending.
