Money & Big Decisions · Runway decision + simulator
Eighteen months of runway, the month-9 checkpoint, the walk-back plan
Quit the $9,500 job with $240K saved? The runway modeled month by month, the month-9 checkpoint, the walk-back plan, and a simulator to bend it yourself.
The brief, verbatim
I'm 38, single, and I have about $240,000 saved outside retirement. I want to quit my $9,500/month job and give myself 18 months to build my consulting business. I think I spend around $5,800 a month but honestly I'm not sure. I need to know: can I actually afford this, what does the runway really look like, what has to be true by month 9 to keep going, and what's my walk-back plan if it fails. Give me the real numbers and something I can play with, not a pep talk.
What the room did
The live runway simulator fronts the case: five levers, with the savings curve, the month-9 floor, and the point of no return recomputing on touch. Behind it, the ten-page dossier: the real spending number, the runway math, what has to be true by month 9, and the walk-back plan.
