We have some cash but not the $1million or more I read online is the bar. That seems high for middle class unless you started saving in your 20’s. |

Yeah, I’m looking to a stress free environment, at least no work stress. The last two years have been extremely difficult for me, health wise and I think getting rid of the work stress will help tremendously |

I didn't want them to carry me out of the office toes up and have a stranger show up to my wife's work and tell her that her husband died of a heart attack. |

Yep, if you can swing it…it’s liberating. Between bureaucratic and political office bullshit, changing leadership and philosophical direction, and constantly changing technology that came with minimal ‘training’—all of which you endure every 7-9 yrs as part of a normal cycle, COVID and toxic cultural issues were the final straw. I do what I want, when I want, how I want and if I want. It’s awesome.

I remember being in my early 20’s, looked at my check stub and thought of that Social Security money being taken out. Thought I’d never see that money…. May have to retire soon. Never know where life will take you.

Speaking of social security, I guess 30 credits is what is needed to receive benefits/medicare. I checked my account and I have 29/30 credits as most of my 20 year career I didnt pay into SS so I received no credits.

Take a job for six months somewhere at Menards or Lowe’s and you’re good?! That or take spousal benefits from your spouse?
