A free worksheet and one email a week, from me, Jack. I sat through 23 rounds of layoffs at one company and ended up in the ER twice before I built my own way out.
What the worksheet gives you
- Your monthly survival cost: what you actually need, not what you currently spend.
- How much cash it takes to walk away safely, based on your salary and how long a job search can run.
- What full financial independence would cost you, and the milestones on the way there.
- How many months of freedom your savings already buy you, today.
Ten minutes and a calculator. For most people, the first number is smaller than the fear says it is.

What the weekly email is
One email, Sunday evenings. A real story or number, one thing to do before Monday, and anything new on the site. No hustle culture and no retire-at-65 lectures. Read past issues first if you’d like to see what you’re signing up for.
