Am definitely considering early retirement. That’s because of the left-wing legislation over the past 30 years which takes away my career future anyway, and takes away my incentive to work. Under the new rules I can be legally discriminated against because of my race and gender; I can be sued and lose my job for off-hand comments which make someone “uncomfortable”; and any money I do make can be stolen by the government in order to “spread it around”.
“Am definitely considering early retirement.”
Retired September 1 in my late 50’s. I was tired of paying nearly 60% of every dollar I earned to various government entities not to mention the mandatory corporate United Way mandates. Plus the corporate bureaucracy BS and political correctness.
Fortunately my wife and I prepared for early retirement. We saved aggressively by adopting a lifestyle far below what our income could support and remaining debt free. We are now divesting possessions and downsizing to a smaller home so our cost of living will be dramatically reduced. This frees up funds for travel and hobbies. We can smell the flowers and see the country at a low cost by staying in the trailer we pull behind our truck. Our stress is gone and our quality of life is already dramatically improved. It is amazing how inexpensive life can be when you have no debt and can distinguish between wants and needs. True happiness comes an intimate relationship with God as well as a nurturing family and network of good friends. Life can still be good in America if you adopt the right lifestyle.
