The Intentional Exit Toolkit: A Gen X Guide to Quitting Your Job Strategically

You don't need another pep talk about "following your passion." You need a plan.

Whether you're already counting down to your last day or just starting to think seriously about leaving, this toolkit walks you through the parts nobody tells you about — the money math, the negotiation, the structure that keeps you sane once the routine of a job disappears.

This isn't theory. It's the worksheets, scripts, and calculators I wish I'd had before I quit with no plan.

What's Inside (22 pages):

✔️ Financial Runway Calculator — know exactly how many months you can survive before you resign

✔️ Extend Your Runway Worksheet — find hidden cash before you touch savings

✔️ Pre-Quit Checklist — the logistics to handle before you give notice

✔️ Severance & Negotiation Script — word-for-word scripts for asking for more on your way out

✔️ AI-Powered Skills Audit — prompts to find your transferable skills and next move

✔️ 90-Day Action Plan — week-by-week structure for the transition

✔️ Daily Structure Template — the routine that keeps unemployment from turning into a spiral

✔️ Freelance & Consulting Rate Calculator — price your time correctly if you're going independent

Who this is for:

Gen X professionals who are done staying somewhere out of habit, obligation, or fear — and want to leave on their own terms, with a plan instead of a leap of faith.
