Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I've been thinking today......and this thought popped up in me li'l head. It may be part of my midlife crisis.
Look out when I get all philosophical. See my recent signature.
Rewind mentally back to your FIRE date, or if not FIREd, go back exactly X number of years.
Take a snapshot in your head. This will be the BEFORE state.
Come back to present. This will be the AFTER state.
The question...What is the BIGGEST change, positive or negative, you as a person have gone through since your FIRE (or since the BEFORE) date.
There may be several biggies, and by all means list them.
Suggested format is BEFORE and AFTER with the time elapsed...
Me first...
BEFORE : Successful engineering career, GS-13, high salary, published papers, patents pending, managed huge contracts...
AFTER: Household engineer, laundry slave , gardener, miniature vineyard owner, reader, card carrying member of the
FIRE Goofing Off Society.
TIME ELASED: 2 yrs, 2 mos
POSITIVE change
