As I look back on my working years, my goal was to have a career in a field of interest to me, to work in roles that were fulfilling, and to hold positions where I looked forward to going to work every day.
Blah, blah, blah.
My real career plan was to retire after having built a nest egg with enough money accumulated in my retirement savings accounts to be sure that I could live comfortably in retirement and wouldn’t outlive my money.
I retired in 2016 and I’m proud to say that, short of some unexpected catastrophic expense or occurrence, or me living to about 120 years, I will have achieved my career plan.
This, That, and the Other 
It’s good to have planned for that. Some people still don’t want to think about it… and some can’t. That was somewhat understandable a few decades ago, shortly after pensions started disappearing.

My career plan was always to work fewer hours and get paid more – which meant taking every available training class.

That’s good to know. Money becomes very important as we stop working.
