Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Greetings, long time reader of many years, just never got around to signing on.
Age 52, single, no dependents, no debts
House puchased in 2002 $175k, paid off in 2007. Do not count it in assets or retirement planning, it's just a place to live.
1.5M in assests ( house not included ). I'm a LBYMs person. Spending last couple of years is ~$16K/yr.
Nuclear engineer, spent 25yrs in commercial nuclear power industry. Left megacorp utility Jan 2008. grew tired of corp BS, reorgs, downsizing, 1hr daily commutes, 12hr days 7 days a week, on call 24x7, high stress etc.
Took a job as a computer systems/network admin for a couple of medical clinics. Easy work, low stress, 5 minutes from the house. But life is short and I'm tired of working on someone elses clock.
Major obsticle is HI, like so many others. Since I left megacorp before official ER age I don't get health benefits ( will get a small pension at 55 ).
Seems being 50yrs + is automatic rejection.
Hope to add something to the discussions here.
