    Same goal I used to offer on annual performance reviews when I worked in a cube at tech companies: land a job making a million dollars a day, then work a couple of weeks and quit.

    I could see that. TA/Petro and Loves tire crews in the pits. A 100 mile race would take about 3 days to complete, since every pit stop would require at least two road service trips out on the track to fix what they messed up the first time.

    I almost have 43 years driving. You were not born yet, but I like your thinking, get out asap, you`ll live longer. Good luck.

    Some people are getting into better shape and staying that way in their 40s and up than they possibly were in their 20s and such. The more retirement and social security are turning into myths, the more the rest of us have to keep plugging along in some other thing until we've socked away/invested enough in some type of private retirement program to float us through those "final" 20-30 years.
     
    Wargames Thanks this.
