The 20 bucks I paid a psychic to give me advice really paid off. This morning, I was pondering what would have happened if I had stayed in the military an extra 2 years to reach my High Year Tenure (HYT). Getting out of the military was against all the best advice I was given from the brightest, financial number crunchers. If I would have followed that advice, I would have been totally screwed. My HYT would have had me exit the military on August 2020 during the pandemic.
Not only would I have struggled to find an apartment, I would have struggled to find a job.
So the lesson here is to trust your instincts and take risks. With great risk, there are great rewards.
