  My friend is works in finance but not for banks, just for companies. His job is sort of like accounting except he looks forward instead of backward.

  He got a new boss last year who gave him the runaround for a year and wouldn’t promote him. His job is easy for him but there’s nowhere to grow.

  He’s 36, no kids. So he should quit, right? After all, he should need to be moving up in the world at his age and situation.

  So he starts looking for a new job. Finds one. Doesn’t quit his old job, he just does the bare minimum to not get fired. New job is his focus.

  Now he collects two large paychecks and works about 8 hrs per day.

  The American Dream, realized!
