My last day was May 31st. Been watching mega push out older employees for decades. I'm kind of an outlier on this forum in that I was a tradesperson that supervised other tradespeople in a retail environment (there's a riddle for you) lol. In other words no collage. Physical work. 10+ hour days on my feet. At 58 it's my time. My company has an ESOP and a 401k that thank goodness I took full advantage of. Saving, investing and LBYM came easy for me. I had a good example. My DF did the same thing.
This forum has been an inspiration. Kind of surreal. Retired at 58 with 1 1/2 times my spend rate available to live the life I want. Life is good!
