Plan B is always there.

I am just lucky that I have a steady job that most here probably think is below "their means". Part 135 unscheduled freight.
I have been doing this since the early 90's, have no debts anymore, a very healthy 401(k) and a nice IRA, even though over the last year it's not looking as good as it once did . I am also a part-time bridge professional and Texas Longhorn breeder.

I made a decision many years ago to stay with 135 for many reason but the main one is that I wanted to be able to retire at 50. With 10 years to go I should be able to easily make that, then I will probably change things around and make full-time what is now part-time and vice-versa. I think the biggest thing is to figure out what you need to do for yourself, changes jobs many times over many years is probably not the way to go. You always start at the bottom again and then you'll be playing catch up for years to come.

In the mean time I'll be having fun golfing, playing bridge, raising cattle and hanging out with my family
