Cheaper? Leaving more in the 'travel' bucket? Honestly cannot figure this thing out. But I am doing just fine at 47I'm still trying to figure out what eating more vegetables has to do with a good retirement
Sad that they have to get their strokes from a doctor!But I have some older friends that spend too much time of their retirement time at the doctor!
I couldn't figure out the relevance of the question about a vested pension. It asked how many years I've been vested -or- how many years until I can start taking benefits. Huh?
Clearly CT has the most near and dear friends.

Speaking as a quant-driven INTJ nuclear engineer whose spouse is also employed PT, I think John's story appeals to everyone's inner "rebel without a clue"...IMHO, that
advantage should be offset by my almost complete lack of foresight and planning JG
th l But isnt it a bit disingenuous to say "I quit with meager resources and no plan and using sheer brainpower and willpower ER'ed successfully!" ? Anyone could run out the door with a couple of hundred thousand said:Hello th! You post some excellent stuff. I am impressed
and that is not easy to do.
No, I don't think I am being "disingenuous" at all.
When I quit in 1993, I had one child at home, an acquisitive wife,
lots of debt and other problems. I did it anyway.
Finding a new working spouse was not in the plan
(actually there was no plan). Anyway, I would be ahead
financially if I was still single. Thus, no one can
diminish what I did based on my marital status.
