The Walkaway Number
A CFO’s Realistic Math for Making Work Optional
You don't need to quit tomorrow. You need to know how to make leaving a choice instead of a crisis.
The final part of the series
When one paycheck stops controlling your freedom.
The Walkaway Number turns a private fear into a workable plan. You'll see what your life costs, what you already have, where the gap is, and how to close it so you can safely walk away from any situation that doesn't serve you.
The optionality math
Turn someday into a number you can actually reach.
You need a goal number you can achieve, a game plan for how to earn and save for it, and a next move that puts more of your life back in your hands.
