While my kids live at home, regular fire due to living in HCOL. Once they are off to college, I'd love to move somewhere cheaper and live a lean fire life. In other words, I should hit my number once they leave home.

Questions about ACL Festival

They'll release the schedule around mid-August. You can buy the shirt while you're there. Also, around the time that they release the schedule, they'll also announce late night shows around Austin. Attend one with your favorite artist. It's much more intimate than ACL since you'll be in a small venue. These days, I skip ACL and only attend late night shows.

I took a director role at a previous job because I saw a lot of issues and I wanted the power to fix them. I didn't know the pain of having to let someone go. After the second firing, I left for a contributor role and vowed to never work in management again. Worst two years of my career.

The first was mandated. It happened my first week in the office. The other one was initiated by me with a long, drawn out pip. That one was hard because we had worked together for almost two years and our families became close.
