Hi. I’m you from ten years in the future. Do not be afraid. I wanted to pop back in time and say thanks. Yeah you didn’t retire in your late thirties like you thought you would mostly because it’s harder to make FI cash than you thought. The crash of 2020 took a few years to get passed but hey 45 is the new late thirties as they say now. The reason I’m thanking you is you went ahead and struggled and saved anyway while things got tough and now you are free. Just FYI, I texted my QUIT to the HR bot in the Philippines just before I came back to see you. Btw quitting is harder than you think. Just to let you know, I don’t blame you. Not quitting at 40 when you could eke bye because they offered you 2x what you’d ever made to stay; yeah the place was thalidomide for your soul but then your wife (I’m not telling) got pretty sick and that cushion was worth it. Also: take care of your health and sleep more. An extra ten years of long hours at the terminal has left me not as healthy as I’d like.
