Sometimes<br />

When Things<br />

Look Bad<br />

They Turn<br />

Out Good<br />

Written by Allison Carmen<br />

Nathan was<br />

about two<br />

years from<br />

retirement and<br />

had his life all<br />

mapped out a particular way. He worked in<br />

finance for a prestigious law firm in Manhattan.<br />

He lived in New Jersey during the week and<br />

commuted down to Florida on the weekends<br />

to be with his wife, who lived there full time.<br />

Nathan was under a lot of pressure at work. He<br />

was stressed because the firm was downsizing<br />

and reorganizing and he feared his position<br />

would change for the worse. He did not sleep well<br />

away from his wife and had become overweight<br />

from eating out during the days he was away<br />

from her and his family. Still, he claimed he had<br />

it all under control with his plan until he retired.<br />

Due to the economy, many people in Nathan’s<br />

department were let go and Nathan was notified<br />

that they wanted him to change from a full-time<br />

to a part-time position at the firm. This is when<br />

Nathan came to me for business advice.
