I know this works because I've lived it.
I was in a six-figure job, and I already knew it was time to leave. But I wasn't going to walk away blind — so I calculated my own Exit Number first. Once I had it, I resigned. I lived comfortably for two years on $10,000 a month in expenses while I figured out my next move, funded entirely by a plan I'd already built. I didn't have to ask anyone for help. I didn't have to justify the decision to a single person. I just had a number, and the number gave me a choice.
That's not a lucky story. It's a math problem I solved before I needed the answer. Decision Time exists to teach you the same thing: how to build the kind of financial independence that means you're never stuck somewhere you've outgrown again.
