Burnout doesn't mean you're done. It means your plan is.
Most physicians don't retire because they're ready.
They retire because they're exhausted.
And exhaustion is a terrible co-pilot for the most important financial decision of your life.
The ones who leave on their terms didn't work less hard.
They had a flight plan that gave them the option to stop -before their body made that choice for them.
Certainty doesn't wait until you're ready to retire.
It has to be built while you're still in the cockpit.
Your burnout is a signal, not a sentence.
Don't let exhaustion write your retirement story.
