Want to Quit Your Job? My 5-Step Strategy to Exit in 15 Months Instead of 7 Years

In this episode, Anthony breaks down the five rules he used to leave his career with money in the bank, including how to calculate your “freedom exit number,” why consumer debt can keep you trapped in a job you hate, and how paying off payments can shrink a seven-year exit plan to just 15 months. He also explains how to use your current paycheck to fund your next move, prepare for the benefits you’ll lose when you leave, and recognize the situations where your health or safety matter more than hitting the perfect number. The goal is not just to quit. It is to leave with peace, options, and a real plan for what comes next.
