I've come across to this article recently, and as a person who's not planning to move on management roles, I've just wanted to ask you and take your advice on this.

It's a little late for me to be thinking about this, as I'm already 40+. But basically my plan is what it's always been: entrepreneurship. Whether the plan succeeds or not is another question. If it doesn't, "plan C" is to pull a Leaving Las Vegas and go drink myself to death in Vegas.

My plan B is to pay off my mortgage before I turn 40. That is also plan A. Because after that I don't have to make as money.
