Yes, it is (but perhaps in a perverse way).

Anyhow, there is a current thread about favorite Rolling Stone songs. I always liked Time Is on My Side, but probably not a favorite--just kind of a favorite.
So, what does this have to do with Early Retirement and Fire and Money? A whole lot--or maybe not so much.
It seems that I've become rather confused about continuing to work (as per financial questions, such as taxes) which leads me to believe/wonder/hope/wish/pray that perhaps it will be easier to understand if I am financially set to retire.
Here is some information: (ERD50, if you need more information, just ask).
I will be 70 1/2 next year (here's where Time Is On My Side,). Being as old as I am I will have less time to deplete my nest egg (those of you who are consumed with jealousy right about now won't be invited to my retirement party. Well, if you promise to bring a cheese cake, you can come. No use for ME to be petty). ((I think I jumped the track)).
More info: I will still be 70 1/2 next year. I have $1.3 MM and some change. It's split about 50/50 stocks/bonds (except for the change). I receive $26,000 annually in Social Security. No debt, no mortgage. I'd like to buy $80,000 a year worth of stuff. However, let's include taxes in that $80,000 so the gov't. can also buy stuff.
FIRECalc says, "You go, girl." But that makes me a bit uneasy. It's like it really wasn't paying close attention to who I am.
Will some please tell me what FIRECalc says to you about me? Let's keep it about my financial ability to retire.
