i thought that i had master the monster of individual financial independence... in the events of the last 15 years or so, i thought i could navigate any future situation brought to my door step... but i never in my worst nightmare envisioned what has happened in the last two years... and now, as this multiple-head monster seems to grow and multiply much faster than one can possibly mount a defense against... it seems that the best strategy is to retreat where the monster cannot reach.
at 25 that would have been not only not a problem, but a thrilling challenge... today is a bit different, but yet, regardless of the age, this is the only defense that remains as the only rational solution... the risks are the same...no action is what the directors of this horror movie expect from most. therefore, the worst i could do is freeze in fear of the unknown... i cannot do that, because whatever the unknown is, it cannot be worse than the frustrating and destructive certainty of the future staying put...
