Back in Novemeber we were very close to buying a bigger boat, in fact we had made serious offers on two. Then I was laid off in January and hanging on to our cash became a higher priority. Searching for work is a higher priority than looking at www.yachtworld.com. Courtship has enjoyed some upgrades and attention however.
The frustration in all this is I cannot even get people with whom I used to work closely to even talk to me about job openings. It is easy to blame age discrimination (just look at the popular media) but I am reluctant to lay all the blame there; I don't want to abdicate control over my future to some amorphous concept. That said, what to do about it? The spousal unit talks about re-invention (for both of us) and new directions and maybe she is right. So this little blog's content is more about how do I drive the decisioning process towards that bigger boat, life choices, and other abrstract thoughts on growing up, spending money, and productive use of what is left.
