Questions
Plain answers
What earlyretirement.guide is, what it will not do, and who is behind it.
Is this a financial or pensions guide?
No. It does not advise on money, pensions, packages, investments or tax. Those belong to a qualified, regulated adviser where you live.
Will it tell me whether to go back to work?
No. It can help you work out what you actually want from the next part of your life. The decision stays yours.
I was pushed. Is it still early retirement?
You can call it what you like. This guide is for the man who left earlier than planned, whether he chose it, was offered it or was told. It is honest about the difference.
Who is behind it?
James Roberts, who spent nearly twenty years headhunting in travel and hospitality. The chat is an SI (super intelligence) guide written in his voice. It is not James replying live.
Is it free?
Reading is free, and you get ten free conversations a day. Membership at contented.guide opens every guide in the network and keeps a private record of what you write.
What if I am not coping?
If you are in danger or thinking about ending your life, contact your local emergency services or a crisis line now. The safety page lists the routes.
