I'm kinda sorta retired since I turned 50.....I been self employed 30+ yrs doing what I enjoyed....made my own hours... my workshop, house and everything else is paid for...no debts at all....

I work 3 days a week on projects and its fun "work"....I'm not sure I need to officially retire....I'm 60 and probably start collecting SS at 62....I'll cut my work down to the max allowed before penalties....I think that's 18K a year....


I can be kinda sorta retired the rest of my life....
