[quote:Anonymous Coward 21096826:MV80NDk5NTU5XzgxOTcxOTI0X0JBQkM3N0Uw] This is highly personal depending upon your likes. I can offer the following: I am the kind of person that wants to retire at the first moment available in life - so I say. Not that I don't like working, only that I don't want to invest a single minute more than necessary within my life. That said, I was laid off for upwards of two years in my life, before I could find employment. For the first twelve months, life was great. Bills were paid, I could do anything I wanted day to day. Next six months, life was good, bills still paid, but something was missing. The final six months, I was climbing the walls, needing something to occupy my time. Enough was enough. I had movies, computer, games, forums, friends, etc, but it wasn't enough to then fill the huge hole I was feeling. People need a purpose that occupies their time, whether a cause, a hobby, or a job/career, etc, whatever. This is a personal choice. NO one can make this up for you. You either feel it, or you don't. But it's up to you to FEEL it in reality. [/quote]

I am 55, will be 56 soon. I can take early retirement now. I would get $3800 a month without our insurance, $2100 with insurance.
Been laid off for 2 months now, collecting unemployment and using my savings.
I have no debt, my bills are about $1200 a month.
I could go back to work making about $48 an hour if I can find work.
