Exit Strategy

Most of what I post here is from an era consisting shots taken from '05 thru '15 after that time, I've been hard at work with my day job, playing out my exit strategy. Hopefully things work out so I can have the time to appreciate the finer things like photography.

This is great Zeph! A really great looking shot.

And even better news about your Exit Strategy! I know when I had turned 50 I had a 5 year plan for my Exit Strategy, and it was a fun time planning for that retirement.

So when will your exit strategy come to fulfillment?

Nice - I like this kind of scene with the fall colors.

So you are shopping for places to go visit again once the time clock stops? :D

According to your old timey land rover post you are 3 years younger than me and I retired 3 years ago.....

Hey Jim -
For me what’s called retirement (career change) is a bunch of compromises. Not only are there the behavioral routines that change but also the world that I’ve known for 40 years is moving on without me.
Currently it’s going to take a couple of years before I feel “done” and going though the process of mentoring a replacement will need to happen.The most dramatic change will be cash flow and my propensity for having toys.:)

There are numerous places that could certainly make my list, but for me it’s the getting there that’s important to me, it’s the head space that comes from trekking that motivates and challenges me, either hiking, horseback, or truck camper. And yes, revisiting places is great because you know the lay of the land and see the changes, not always good, but nonetheless gives me a place in time. Yes your right, I just finished my 64th year:)

Very nice. You really captured fall in the Rockies, the clouds are the perfect icing on the cake. Good luck with the retirement plans. My wife and I think back to when we were working and wonder how we ever got anything done around the house!

It's great Zeph that you are at the point where you can actively work towards retirement. After a life time of work it's exciting to be able to be retired and to be able to go photograph whenever you want. There is usually some financial adjustments that have to be made, but I have found that's a small price to pay for the freedom retirement brings.
