Vol V — The Exit Cost
Understanding why leaving is difficult; even when the system is clearly misaligned.
Seeing the system is only the first step.

Exit carries consequences: financial, social, psychological.
This guide examines why individuals remain in environments they know are wrong, and what makes departure so difficult.
What This Guide Covers
perceived vs actual cost of leaving
loss of identity, status, and belonging
financial and structural dependency
fear of uncertainty and isolation
psychological barriers to exit
Core Insight
