I worked like a son-of-a-b*tch for 38 years.
I saved a huge fraction of my take home pay early on until the first wife got hooked on opiates.
I invested in the stock market through indexed mutual funds.
I’m retired, and loving it. I get up each day and do exactly what I want. My desires are moderate, so I can essentially fulfill them all at a 4% withdrawal rate forever.
I have a sufficient gun collection and ammo stock. I say whatever I want. I vote for conservatives only. I consume as much energy as I’d like to make my life comfortable. I oppose islam and mass illegal immigration.
Euroweenies can go suck an egg.
Similar story here. I would say the always-arrogant Euro-nitwits can kiss my free a**.
