Congratulations.

I have not read all the posts under this thread but to answer the OP's question, I would work one more year for $1 million. For 5 years, the answer would be no. I am 49 years old, planning for a 45 year long retirement.

I think it was a joke. I hope so anyway.

Congratulations.

I save on cars and I paid my small condo cash (bought below my means and no mortgage).

I only turn CNBC on sometimes in the morning to have some background noise. I used to watch MSNBC Joe Scarborough a few years ago but stopped watching as Scarborough keeps interrupting everyone, which I find disrespectful.

If you keep annuities under $250k-300k, scatter all your CDs and munis among many different financial institutions to stay under FDIC limits, and live only on this and SS and PGBC or state- insured pensions, then you are approaching 100% success rate, correct?

Netflix movie suggestion I just watched "Blue is the warmest color". It is a controversial movie for adults only, but with 5-star acting.

Coffee, checking the news, shower, and checking emails.
