A lot of people dream about retirement and living in a perpetual state of leisure or pursuing a vision of their life that they’ve always wanted. Some people even go so far as to live a “deferred lifestyle” and save up to 70% of their income for a few years to retire as early as possible. However, when they get to that stage they discover that retirement isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be.
After a successful software engineering career, TheirStory Chief Technology Officer Dennis Mnuskin had the option to go on sabbatical and not work for the first time since coming out of high school.

QUOTES
Dennis: "For us, the grass is always greener on the other side. Like every single time you go on vacation, and you're working down the street of London, and you're like man, I wish I lived here. Or you go to Scotland and it's like oh wow, can you imagine if we had a house on this hillside how awesome would that be? And there's a guy living on that house, on that hillside, thinking man, I wish I lived in New York City."
Dennis: "We all love vacation and we idealize it because it's something different, but when vacation becomes our fulltime existence, it's no longer vacation. It's no longer fun."
Dennis: "Our work is what actually enables us to make a meaningful difference in the world. Going on vacations and jumping from one sailboat to the next sailboat, it sounds like fun but I can't imagine I would be doing that for more than a month or two."
Dennis: "If I align my life and what I'm doing with what I actually value, then I'm happy, I'm successful, I'm content. But I don't want to be sailing around the world. I do not want to own a cattle farm, I do not want to be a farmer. And so the question becomes, what am I gonna do?”
