Congrats Alex! That's awesome. :D
Now you can have your cake and eat it too:
- Plenty of time off (since it's part time work) to do fun ER activities
- Getting to play with your hobby, with their dollars
- Extra funds, because why not?
Now see, I don't think you are mad for taking a PT job.. Your mad for coming on MMM and telling everybody about it! Has the two years of of virtual toungue lashing I have receieved taught you nothing?..:)
Ah, but see there's a huge difference, you refused to acknowledge you were still working.
Notice his declaration:
Interview went well and I'm no longer retired.
(Emphasis added.)
We don't have a problem with people going back to work. If that's the most fulfilling thing for them once FI, more power to them! It was the self deception that we objected to, and tried to get at by ribbing you about it. :)
Your newest blog title mostly fixed that. No one needs to do the ER part of FI, but it's worth figuring out which is right for you, and then committing. :)
Back on topic, I've been enjoying your boating adventures, Alex, I hope more adventures continue (though likely not in the same way), despite the new job!
What does your SO think?
