I'm no fool. I stash a lot away. If I'm lucky, I'll retire early. If not, I'll have more than enough cushion to pivot without a major disruption in lifestyle. I certainly saw enough instability in every other profession - even civil service - since COVID to know that there is no guarantee in this world.
