I retired at 60 because I could. I planned it out so why should I continue to work when the plan worked out like a charm? Most people never set a plan in motion and never retire.
I agree. Most people do not plan as they accept the premise that SS will be there for them. Suckers!!!!!
Close here. Øbowel killed my NASA contract job and I said F' it.
IRA and other stuff gave me a path to say to hell with the endless chasing of engineering jobs. Had NASA been funded to get back to the moon, would probably still be working, ten years later.
Not the most careful planning, but when things fell into place, I bailed out of the work force.
