Jesus Christ. I can do nothing but admire that. Your dad is a special kind of person.
The longest streak I've probably ever had is about 4-5 months. I take advantage of every single second my vacation time. At the very least if I'm not traveling I'm the type that will randomly take a day off somewhat regularly where I run errands
or other miscellaneous things ,etc.

I wish that you or someone could convince him not to do that. I hate seeing people get taken advantage of. But I figure he's the type of man who once his mind is set, there isn't a thing on this planet that will be able to change it.
Nothing but respect.

Am on SS Disability now and have no interest in working not even part time.
Dear SSA,
The "post" you wrote to my client about was indeed created under a screen name my client ostensibly controls and published on Tigerdroppings.com. Please make note Tigerdroppings.com is well known for "shitposting" and massive technical issues due to underfed and overworked hamsters. It seems there was a glitch either with the forum software or possibly the autocorrect on the device used to make the post. The post should have read:
"I am on SS Disability now and have no ability to work, not even part-time."
This corrected statement is an accurate portrayal of my client's current situation regarding employment and it is clear there is no need for an early continuing disability review. A CDR in this instance would be a simple waste of the SSA's time and money.
Thank you for all your help and consideration in this matter,

So you were appointed director at 32? Sure.
Director of a Cambridge research center nonetheless where half of the phd students involved are older than that.

This is true. Ages ranged from 25-42.

Sorry if already covered, but for you guys that retired early, how did you handle health insurance? That's the big issue the people that I know in their 50's and early 60's seem to worry about how to handle.
So in my case and with my company my years of service and age were such that my and my wife’s health insurance was about $500 per month. When I turned 65 I went on Medicare. It is cheaper. My wife is under 65 and her insurance is about $200 per month. Overall health insurance has been pretty easy for us. You just have to make it to Medicare age. I know others have much higher monthly costs.

59 and 3 months.
While retirement was on my radar, my profession is shrinking and Covid accelerated the process.
Savings, investments, living within my means, and the retirement package offered, was just too good to turn down.
Took the package, stayed busy finishing neglected work around the house for 4 months, received an offer for something I like and was attractive, so I'm back at it.
Looking at 65 to retire again. But if I get miserable, I'll leave earlier. And if I'm still healthy and happy, I'll keep doing what I do.
All in all, it's worked out well.

I’m 48. I plan to retire in 4 years when my daughter graduates high school. I have a military pension and an IRA as well as other investments.

I retired from FedGov (Federal LEO) at age 50. I took a year off and became a Florida State LEO where I remain. I really don’t have any plans to retire again anytime soon.
I much prefer my current career over being a Fed. I have no actual ambition to move up the ladder. I just want to do my job and go home at the end of the day. As long as I can operate that way, I’m as happy as a clam.

Plan is 55, which is the age I can stay on health insurance. I turn 49 this month. I hate to wish my life away but I’ve been working since I was 9 and I’m ready as a mofo. And, damn, 6 years seems like an eternity. Managing people is draining.

You should. It’s good for your mental health.

I won't retire for another 20 years if I ever actually retire. I like what I do and a lot of what I do takes absolutely zero effort, so even when I get to the point that I can retire I'll probably just keep going.
