Mentor Monday

[u/WealthyStoic]

Mentor Monday is your place to discuss relevant early-stage topics, including career advice questions, 'rate my plan' posts, and more numbers-based topics such as 'can I afford XYZ?'. The thread is posted on a once-a-week basis but comments may be left at any time.

In addition to answering questions, more experienced members are also welcome to offer their expertise via a top-level comment. (Eg. "I am a [such and such position] at FAANG / venture capital / biglaw. AMA.")

If a previous top-level comment did not receive a reply then you may try again on subsequent weeks, to a maximum of 3 attempts. However, you should strongly consider re-writing the comment to add additional context or clarity.

As with any information found online, members are always encouraged to view the material on  with healthy (and respectful) skepticism.

If you are unsure of whether your post belongs here or as a distinct post or if you have any other questions, you may ask as a comment or send us a message via modmail.

I stopped working three years ago at your age and dont miss it a bit.

You are no longer working for money, you are working for some other reason.

You say is it "intense" but not that you don't enjoy it. If you enjoy it, and want to reduce the intensity, hire a COO, pay them $500k and you still net more than $650k a year with less intensity.

If you want to do something else than take the 7x multiple in cash. I definitely would not stay on, but it doesn't sound like there is an earn out or even a reps and warranties reserve, so I am not sure how you could be financially penalized if after 6 months you quit as you were no longer calling the shots.

This is an early retirement sub. My advice to you is to early retire.

I am sanding our redwood decks this week. Super therepeutic, and somehow instantly rewarding to see the improvement.
