How to Afford to Quit Your Job
When Tess Vigeland, the former host of public radio’s "Marketplace," came home from work and cried in her backyard for three hours, she knew it was time to leave her job.
With her recently published book, "Leap: Leaving a Job with No Plan B to Find the Career and Life You Really Want," she is encouraging people to make similar moves. While doing so certainly involves some risks, Vigeland says it doesn’t mean being reckless. If you are considering a similarly big change, Vigeland suggests you keep the following in mind:
【R1】______
Vigeland recommends considering your current expenses and income, including from alternate sources, such as a partner’s salary or freelance work, to consider whether you can cover your basic living costs without your primary income. "I did some back-of-the-napkin calculations with my husband and we figured his salary could pay the mortgage with me not working at all," she says. In addition, she planned to take on freelance work, so her income would not go to zero. "I also knew I had a large retirement account that I could tap into if I had to, and home equity," she adds.
【R2】______
After leaving her job in public radio, Vigeland’s income the following year was just one-third of what it had been previously, which meant she and her husband had to cut certain expenses from their budget. "We didn’t go out to dinner as much, we didn’t go on big vacation trips and we just did a lot of road trips around California, and that was fine," she says.
【R3】______
Imagining the worst can actually help calm your deepest fears, Vigeland says. Would you have to move in with your parents? Ask friends for financial help? For many people, the worst possible outcome does not involve extreme poverty. Figure out what the most terrible situation is for you. Could you handle it? The likelihood of facing it, however, is pretty unlikely, she says.
【R4】______
Vigeland hasn’t contributed much to her pension accounts since she left her full-time job, and she’s OK with that "I stopped living for retirement. I don’t want to stop working at age 65. I’m 46 now, and I hope I’m working for the next 30 years," she says. Instead of saving money and saving your adventures for old age, Vigeland suggests traveling and living on less now, when you can enjoy it even more.
【R5】______
Vigeland wishes she had laid aside more money before leaving her job, and it’s something she encourages others to do now. "I felt pressure to be churning out dollars and getting a paycheck, and I think better savings, even three months, would have saved me from a lot of that," she says. Instead of scrambling to pick up freelance assignment as soon as possible, she could have taken her time more.
【R5】
选项
答案
A
解析
本段首句便讲维格兰后悔自己没在离职前没多能多存一些钱,因此她建议人们要在离职前先存够钱,并表示,倘若当时能多存一些,她现在的生活也许就能更加从容。A中的Save up对应文中的laid aside more money和better savings,而before quitting则是原文before leaving her job的同义表达,由此确定答案为A。
