We are at a crossroads. Unfortunately we are not able to control our crossroads. What does that mean? Well DH has been at a startup as you know. We took a risk and it's paid off. There is a serious offer on the table and it means quite a bit of money. Life changing? Yes. We would have hit our FIRE number. We would be completely able to Fat FIRE. Combined with our current savings and we are looking at a 2x FIRE number. DH would not RE because he doesn't want to.
But why the crossroads? Because he doesn't want the offer. He likes what he's doing and he wants to continue and maybe make more money. He wants the risk. He loves the job. But it's not up to him. It's up to the group in the whole. So it's not a one person decision. The greater good. I'm not sure how it's going to play out.
There are 8 guys. I can see how difficult it will be since some will want to continue and others will want to take the security and guarantee. There are few guarantees in life. To know that we are financially secure is comforting. But at the same time we didn't just sign on for this. We signed on for the chance to do something big. I don't know what will happen. I guess we'll know in a week or maybe even tonight.
Fingers crossed. Who knows what will happen.
