I was born in '57 and retired when I reached 57...you do the math.

I'm curious as to how many were made BETTER financially because of divorce? I was divorced in the early 2000's and was financially devastated at the time, but this was the impetus that put me on the track to retire very early. Had I not gotten divorced...oh man, I don't even want to think about that!

Math challenged?
Yeah, word problems were always tough for me. Wasn't very good in wood shop/woodshop, either.
Woodshop? Man, I was the worst. Everyone made it look so easy, I couldn't do it to save my life.
W2R, that is an impressive feat. I have read that divorce is one of the most traumatic life experiences.
I retired at 61, but I am proud of retiring that early after a bad divorce left me with essentially nothing at age 50. I just had to hit the LBYM really hard and plan, plan, plan. And reading posts from the wise people on this forum helped a lot.
There is life after divorce! (And retirement too if that is the goal.)
