Hi everyone. It has been a while since I posted anything. I have been busy. I sold my place and I am moving. I will use the escrow funds plus other savings to fund retirement. I should be fine. I never planned to quit so early at 46. I planned to work until 52. It will not happen. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired so I quit. I never reached 250k in my savings. I passed that up a long ways back now that my place is sold. I have to figure out health care and I will. I thought when this moment came I would jump for joy. No, it's not happening like that. It's just business as usual. My employer was less than understanding about it. I thought there would be a card at least maybe a cake. I got nothing. So that is what I gave them when I walked out the door-nothing. All anyone is is a number when working a job. The reality is employers don't care about you only themselves and their problems. But I am ready to face the future. I can still get my pension in about 10 years. I don't need it now. I am going to live near my relatives and they are happy to have me and I am happy to go. So that is my story.
