Well, first, first I want to thank you for your time.

But, you know, I just want to make sure that I do that up front just because it's generous

of you to spend your time this way.

But basically, yeah, I've been at this job for 10 years.

I have about 13 years in software development or so.

Maybe it's nine years for this job.

And we were required just this year. And then slowly but surely the screws have been turning

in terms of just further process and micromanagement and whatever. And the current project is basically to rewrite or in my mind sort of destroy everything

that we were writing for the last near decade.

And that's caused me to definitely start thinking about going, you know, leaving.

Part of it was really the micromanagement and all of that stuff.

I was really coming into it.

But as I've been thinking on this for weeks, some of it's like trying to figure out what I'm doing with my life, I guess.

And realizing that

if I ever went to do entrepreneurial stuff,

that I don't really have a definition of done

and to launch into that.

So, you know, I'm looking at, you know, my finances now and how much I make and all that.

And like, I could survive for X number of years off of savings and interest and whatever.

The house paid off and all that stuff but that doesn't feel good enough

I feel like and so that if I extrapolate and I say oh well what if I saved for what if I kept at

this for 10 more years and I had let's say a million in the bank and I could live off the interest
