Bingo. At least in Mississippi. Can’t work past 65 if you weren’t working before 65.

Money:
compounding $ grows at increasing rate.

Time:
ambulatory life decreases at increasing rate.

Goal:
Best life is before these lines intersect.

Don’t miss it!

Spend your money.

If you get caught you get 3 hot meals and a cot. If you dont you take the money and move to costa rica

Anyone working after 50 is because they either want to or are a complete piece of shite at savings.

<——64.5 years-old & still working but probably won’t be working by age 66.

yup, it's been frustrating, though. I've done well with some investments but my retirement accounts seem to just be keeping up with inflation.

If fair share of equities (stocks) in your retirement portfolio (broad indexes!), you will beat inflation and at solid return over long term. Keep going!

I get it. But I'll need to find something that keeps me physically and mentally going for (hopefully) 30 years. Gotta continue to have a purpose
