Thanks! I am 58, and did not plan to retire until 62, but the demands of life, family, work, and all were becoming truly impossible, unsustainable. So on the last Monday evening of November 2012, I built a spreadsheet using reasonable assumptions, and saw that permanent retirement was possible. By Wednesday of the same week, I was done for good.:-) My wife retires in two weeks now, so good timing.
Perhaps being broke in the Movement was a good thing - lol, because I have always been a pretty frugal person, always eliminating unnecessary expenses, and choosing any possessions carefully, like the '97 XK-8 coupe, which I do still have, though really considered more of a family pet.:-) --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, nablusoss1008 <no_reply@...> wrote: > > Happy New Year Dr. ! > > How is it possible to be retired, I thought you were a youngish man ? > AND; still have the Jaguar ? :-) > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, doctordumbass@ <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > Happy New Year, 2013, to all!
