    I got a job! It’s going to be working at a bike rental shop fixing and renting out bikes. Generally, I will be interacting with people and teaching them the joy of mountain biking every day. Sounds like a good vibe, and my fellow co-workers will definitely be spunky and energetic people. Obviously, this isn’t going to pay me as much money as working in big tech did, but that’s okay. If I wanted money, I would be doing that. I remember talking about building a life you don’t want to escape from in Heroin in Vietnam. While I was working for Amazon, I was obsessed with the idea of retirement. Optimizing and being as efficient with my money as possible to not have to work anymore. I’ve realized it’s a bit silly to do something you don’t like for the sole purpose of not having to do that thing anymore, but having more. I know that there is a constancy of work to life, and therefore even if I were to “escape” the corporate life, I would still have to do work every day. All of the money I made while holding a firehose of cash would probably just sit in an investment account for the rest of my life, and I could do what I wanted. I think, right now, I truly want to work at this bike shop.

    So, instead of sitting at home and feeling sorry for myself, I decided to change my interest and follow my passion.

    I want to retire. I am ready now to retire, but not sure how to go about it. Maybe one more year of teaching and occasional performances, and then I’ll decide on a new adventure. Gradual retirement will not work for me — too many exciting opportunities are available, and I can’t see to let them go by without accepting the challenge. I have tried to semi-retire, but within a few months my schedule was full again.
