I’m rethinking this whole early retirement idea.

Just start a business if you don’t own it already

I thought I was gonna get so much done around the house.


I can’t even diligently binge Netflix anymore.


My motivation is at an all-time low and I’m basically on an opposite from normal sleep schedule now.

Are you planning to trap yourself at home for weeks at a time during retirement?

It's really simple.

Build your investment accounts to 7 figures, and get your pension + SS total above 6 figures.

Easy peasy.

Do you know me?

I’m not even kidding. Being stuck in the house for weeks with the wife, without hope for escape, has made me want to work until I’m 100.

You have to find the right place to live. I picked a place where if she nags me out the door, I just go to the dock and drop the boat in the water and go. Make sure you retire to the right place.

If I didn’t have to work now I’d split time between my ranch and the lake house on Rayburn I could afford to buy in retirement.

I’m sure your wife would be pleased to hear how you truly feel about her

So sad. I feel so bad for her

Opposite here. I'm convinced more than ever my plan to retire in a couple years at 45 is perfect. I may try to find something flexible part time but more time with kids and free time to exercise, read, and other simple pleasures is priceless. If I kept working it would be trading material things for living quality life as I choose. Too bad retirement savings have taken a huge hit but I'll still be able to swing it unless they cut military pensions to pay for this stimulus on top of years of deficit spending despite a robust economy.

Slippy - I'd play golf with you at Copper Mill brother but I have 20 years left.
