Att göra en exit eller nå slutet på en lång personlig resa, hur känns det? Om tomheten som väntar när vi når högt uppsatta mål och vad vi kan lära oss för att hantera den bättre.
Björn - I was working my way through my reading backlog and was surprised to see my name in your writing. Thanks for the shout out!
Your essay perfectly covers the range of unexpected challenges people face when they reach these major financial events. Most people don't want to hear it because they want to keep the 'fairy tale' ending intact... how disappointing to realize that this future life can be as disappointing as the one we're living in!
But I think it's important to help people who haven't achieved it yet, to reframe their priorities. Sure, it's a good goal. But are you sure it's worth a ton of sacrifice? Or banking your happiness upon? If it is, you're bound for disappointment.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment Rick! I'm happy you get to practice your Swedish reading skills ;) Looking forward to reading your upcoming new series!

Google-Translate works wonders! And it's also why it takes me a bit longer to read.
Btw, if you mention another Substack writer, you should use "@<name>" because it notifies them.
