Confused about dryer sheets
Hi everyone,
First time post. I'm almost 60, was recently layed off for about two months ( at my request over this Corona event) and just got called back in last week.
I enjoyed my time off and didnt realize how burned out I was from working since 1975 uninterrupted.
I have some retirement savings that draws 1000 a month in interest and a emergency fund that could carry me to 62...about 2500 a month ( no debt)
I want to retire now or in 3 or 4 months max and let my interestin my retirement savings keep growing until I turn 62.
While I'm not wealthy and probably could have saved more in retrospect with some diligence on my part, it didnt happen.
However, I'm not in terrible shape and consider myself fortunate.
I find myself hating to go to work each day...while I'm cheerful and a " go getter" once there, still, I realized how much i enjoyed my time off....i guess I'm just sick and tired of being sick and tired.
The kid is 17 and her tuition for secondary education is covered, so no outlay there.
The better half, is very conservative with money and can pinch a penny so hard it screams....so she doesn't care one way or the other.
I thought about trying to go another 2 years, but this corona virus is tough on those around my age and turned the whole way of thinking upside down, so should I jus cut and run.. and be thankful I'm at this point?
I guess I need some positive reinforcement from the " been there and done that's"
