    I’m 50 and in the process of retiring. It’s such a fitting exit. I’ll ride the slop wagon into the sunset.

      I retired at 55 and I highly recommend it. Actually I’m not sure that I’m retired or just quit working. I worked for myself and decided I didn’t want to deal with people anymore so I’ve just stayed home for the last 11 years. Ether way it’s been great!

        That seems similar to my path. Covid put me on the remote worker world, so we packed up and hit the road. Moved to a remote small town near vast nature. Bought a nice house on the river.

        I’m also self employed and doing normal near retirement things. Currently on a 3-6 month contract for an ex employer in the financial space doing AI security stuff.

        Then I’ll take the winter off and snowboard every day.

          In this day and age, you can’t take that as anything but a win! Best of luck to your disembarking from the reality’s of life!
