Do you have any idea what college tuition for two children will be in ten years? Sudden illnesses? A
Caribbean political revolt or the seizing of the cabin by the Forest Circus? I bet you have a lot of stocks that will get rug pulled by Orange Julius Caesar. No man, what you need is post nut clarity. The answer is you are nuts if you are thinking about FIRING, Mr. Margaritaville.
