So apparently getting taught good general or financial advice from your parents ensures you can’t call yourself self made? Lol

Probably. Depends on your spending habits tho

Fair enough

I'd say odds are good

#1 contingency is definitely your (and your spouse's if married) spending

#2 contingency is probably divorce taking away half of what you saved away

#3 contingency is work ethic and mobility. If you are an oil and gas accountant with your CPA there are going to be cycles. If you live somewhere that is shrinking you may have to move. The way technology is evolving we are going to have to evolve over time. If you're lazy or unlucky you might have some tough breaks, but be resilient and you'll be fine.

I'm barely a year into my role, but is it okay to leave for a higher position at a different agency and for an account that is more interesting for me? While my current agency is great, the account is very repetitive and prescriptive. However it has allowed me to learn and grow a lot in my role. It's just that the scope of work isn't that interesting and exciting. The new role is more on social and experiential which excites me and seems like a great opportunity. Smaller agency though.
