I am not happy with this. I’ve been getting up and dragging my butt to work every day for the last 42 years. It’s come to the point where idiots like me are working so the other half of the country doesn’t have to. I’m planning to pack it in while the gettin’ is good. Not doing it any more.
That's what I've learned since getting the boot in the ass into early retirement.
Everything I do for myself all day long is not taxable.
I'm no longer a slave to the gov't for 40% of my daytime productive hours.
Earned Income Tax payers spend ~40% of their working day working for the "greater good" while the takers spend 0% of their day working for same. (I'm currently in limbo, taking no gov't "handouts", but still every hour of my Day is my own. It feels good emotionally.)
