Yeah, sucks there's so little focus on this in school since investing early can make such a huge difference later... and like you said, it doesn't have to be 10% of your paycheck or anything crazy. Even if you start at say 1% of your paycheck, add 1% every year for a while or whenever you get a raise.

I retired at 57. First couple months take some getting used to not going to work everyday. I started my retirement in 2019, but of course, it was disrupted by COVID. Cancelled 5 or more trips that were planned during COVID, but did do South Dakota at the end of it, because it wasn't closed. Now, I've settled in and travel when I want to, sleep in when I want to, go to bed when I want to. So, after getting used to not going to work...... Retirement is the best job EVER!!! You will love it, as long as you can eat and have money for your hobbies. My wife and I have pensions and now SS, so we make more money than working. We saved our whole marriage to travel in retirement and have done quite a bit. I hope to live long enough to be retired as long as I worked. Good Luck, you'll love it!

Yeah, the ridiculous amount of money "they" say you need is stupid. I suppose if you live a high maintenance lifestyle in NYC or other expensive areas that might sort of true. For the average person those numbers are overblown.

My dad bought 6 ford high boys to restore as his retirement plan 🤷*♂️

Not a pretty sight...but yeah probably!LMAO

At our job, we always put the blame for any discovered problem on the guy who most recently left the company. "Mosbonian was supposed to take care of ordering those parts - that's why production is down." "Mosbonian clearly entered this data incorrectly, it'll take me a couple days to straighten this out to where I can work with it."

You may or may not have been the GOAT, but you're a scapegoat now.

As long as your dick still works it should be smooth sailing from here on out!

And think of all those things you never tried 'cause they'd kill you in 20 years.

ROFL..

Wait...:hmmm:

Congrats brother , Enjoy Freedom!

Ok....the Good Friday became a really good Friday.

Retirement day came and I went to the office...worked 2 hours, sent my farewell email to my team and then turned off my laptop. I Gathered all my equipment from the desk and turned and put it in my Director's office. I then walked down to the Office Managers office and turned in my badge.

So now, as of 2 PM today I became officially retired.

You can't see it but trust me...there is a nice big smile on my face.
