Yes you can. And you can continuously find yourself again. I was mentioning your wireman jobs to Lee my wife just earlier, how long did you do it for, I said 15 years but it sounds too much. Was it 10?
Curie is the bomb

Wow alright, talk about dedicating a chunk of your life. No wonder now... ("No wonder whaaaat?")
I had a house at the river, right on the river in Bullhead City Arizona.
I had that place 9 of the 22 years I was working my career. I'd bounce around the country working between Washington DC and Washington State but I maintained that house. I parked my boat and my jet skis there, two of my homeboys parked their boats there, too.
During that time, I bet all my homeboys and all their homeboys and eventually their kids, their kids' friends etc etc etc etc stayed at my place on the water 20 times per my one.
No, really
But I always said how it won't be much longer until every day is a weekend. While all my homeboys partied, I worked my fuckin ass off. I had to, I knew I only had 'x' amount of time on my leg. It worked. I'm the first of All the homies to fully retire and I'm the only person I've ever met who fully retired at age 41.
I missed a lotta weekends back then but I can't even tell you what month it is anymore so the trade was worth it's weight in Bitcoin. And that's just one example. I made a lot of sacrifices for a little over two decades to get me where I am.
Damn it looks cool.
That must have been the cool life haha, jumping on that boat or jet ski.
You worked hard bro and this and only a good work ethic can bring that success.
I won't retire at 41 but I am gonna enjoy what I do (and who the fuck knows I might retire at 42).
You also made the right decisions, timing is everything!
I'm glad you think so.
Retired. Oh I ain't done homie, I'm just done doin that.
Again, you did it the smart way. I can just hope being able to do the same
Good morning my friend.
Talk about confidence, you should have a bag full of that now. All of that editing and concern for every word used in your posts has long been the way you approach everything you put out there, making your material a must read.
Keep up the great work.
My man Sweed! You know how cool it is finding this comment, right? I just wrote him a lengthy ass response with more description if you're interested.
I'm not the guy to bla bla bla look at me but a really good friend of mine named D said something to me not long ago that I'd like to share because of the way you brought this up. You guys said really similar things to me just in different context.
He knows about my chess addiction. He said "you played your life like a game of chess and checkmated all of us!"
Chess is a lot like life, those who can figure out how each move impacts the next have a better chance of being successful. When I was younger, many moves I made I made without thinking of the impact my actions may have on others.
Now, almost everything I do, I think of it as a chess move, contemplating how my actions will fair in the bigger picture.
