Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Maybe that's a blessing that it's not covered. If you did file a claim, they might cancel you.
I'm curious, Charlie, how did you find the water leak? Or did it find you first?We just finished fixing a water line leak under our slab foundation ..... have not got the bill yet but it will be in the neighborhood of $2500.
Slight correction: in order to be able to have HC benefits as a retired public sector employee, you must be eligible to a pension. In most CA positions, that means that you must have been employed at least 10 yrs / retire at 50 or a 30 yr safety employee retire at any age or 5 yrs retire at 70+. Sounds like you have an unusual advantage if you only have to work 5 yrs and retire at any age whether you can draw a pension or not.For anyone who has had difficulty finding health insurance due to a preexisting condition, I would suggest your best option is finding a public-sector job. Hold it for 5 years (if you're keen to retire) or to the minimum retirement age, and you'll be able to retire and keep your benefits.
Being an owner of a business, even a part time owner, how much I take out is somewhat in my control until bonus time (when calculations are made as to what we are actually entitled). Therefore, when I told our accounting department I wanted a draw of 36,000 a year, accounting deducted from that amount taxes, my 401(k) contribution, flex benefits and insurance payments. This is what reduced my purported 36,000 a year to 632 dollars twice a month. Therefore, my exercise in pretend retirement didn't work. However, it will be an interesting exercise in frugality.

Same with your lifestyle.
If most of us could cut back 50%, we would still be in
the top 1% world wide. Think about it.
John,
I am generally a big fan of your posts, but I do not understand your analogy re: "...like Grant took Richmond." From my reading of the history of that War, Grant had a very hard time taking Richmond. Was that your meaning?
Somebody tell me to give notice for December now

Give notice! Or even better, get laid off.
