You're on to something. My planning spreadsheet is set to 1/2 yield what people are saying; I am trying to see if this future career direction can be relied upon even when things go bad. Seems wise to me; that way, if I have a great year, woohoo! If I have a bad year, well, I'm not having to sell the farm.


Thanks all!
