Current age: 56
Targeted retirement age: 70
No, I don't really belong on an early retirement forum, but I guess I can dream, right? As I posted in my introduction I suffer from "bag lady syndrome" and thus plan to work for awhile yet. No pension, although I do have some good savings accumulating. We'll see how I feel when I'm 65.

I do not have any plans to work so I guess I am retired. It is just hard to think of myself as retired since I never really worked.

My great-grandfather owned a farm equipment business in the early 1900's. During the depression, he ended up with thousands of acres of land just outside a major city, most of which has been sold off as the city spread to the farmland. I was the only great-grandchild alive when he died (I was only a baby) and received an inheritance which grew a lot during the 70's. By the time I turned 18 and got most of it, I was in a position to be able to not work if I am reasonably frugal.

I enjoy the forum because there is such a huge knowledge base and nice friendly people. I also find the frugal mindset of this website very refreshing compared to many of my IRL friends.

So can you share with us how an 18 year old dealt with having control of a fortune. As a parent, I am really interested.

For total number of years worked, I'm counting career years, not the gigs during high school or college.

Seems odd we can't include relevant employment in the tally. I included it in a separate heading. It took me several years in my career before I finally matched my "highschool / college gig" salary.

Current Age: 32
Projected/Goal Retirement Age: 40
Not Total working years: 6.75
Total actual working years: 16

Now excited about what to try next! Set up LLC just for the occassional temporary contract assignment. I like keeping in touch with old MegaCorp folks from time to time. It is fun to work if/when you want to.

Too bad it's not CSRS. At 60 yo, you must have just missed the cutoff.
