Worked at nuke plant 28 years, was always in top 3 in overtime
Lived under our means
Have a wife that saves money instead of recycling it.
Mowed yards on the side when I was on shift. At the end of 1 rotation had 7 days off
Paid for both my kids college out of pocket
Also sold a few cars a year
Last 2 years at work I went to training as instructor for our millwright apprenticeship, but I need both my knees and left hip replaced so they let me go out on medical retirement.
Resold my house to the builder and moved back to La from Tx
Company insurance is free to retirees
I don’t have expensive hobbies golf a few times a year
Above average 401 return

I'm working til 70 or so........I'm in an executive position and its mentally stimulating with little physical demands.
One thing of serious consideration is gray matter stimulation. the use it or lose it paradox for retirees.
