When You Get Fired, Make Lemonade

How I got rich. I lived in NYC. I had a promising career in advertising, making enough money to live comfortably in Manhattan. The, at 37 I was fired over a love triangle. Seems I made the mistake of horning in on the CEOs boy toy. Industries talk to each other and I was out in the cold.

I ran into an old client, old meaning him, and he was more than interested in a night of delight. Recognizing my financial situation he offered, and I accepted, compensation for services. He recommended me to other friends, I had to get my game up. A couple of men asked if I could arrange certain types, their types, for them. I got into the business. Quiet, confidential, inventive, selective, my client list grew. Over the last twenty years I made a boatload of money. But 2020 turned out to be the best year of all. I had enough to buy a 'boat' and leave NY for Florida.

Florida climate, tax and otherwise, is a much better place to live. I've met a chef, and we are seeing each other. Getting fired is the best thing that has happened to me.
