retired!
Retired young at 56 in 2008 after
I'm not even quite sure when I retired. :eek:

I was practicing bankruptcy law, and covid relief shut down filings cold. (they still haven't recovered!). With all the money being handed out, and moratoriums on evictions and foreclosures, and the voluntaryish standstills by collection agencies and credit cards, there just wasn't anything to do

At some point, I didn't so much decide but realize that I was retired.

I was working on my spreadsheets (I'd been logging daily account values from the initial covid stock crash, just to have to fortify my nerves the next time around. [spoiler: selling after either of the covid crashes was about the dumbest thing you could do!].

I noticed that my accounts made far more than I'd ever grossed. And that my wife was only a few months from 59.5, making those accounts accessible.

So probably sometime in early 2022 at 57, but it was a slow realization that you could also tag maybe a year either way.

Very much not how I had ever anticipated it happening!

Own a mechanical contracting business, was a superintendent for the largest builder in US up until August when I decided I don’t want to be corporatized and went out on my own. Made sure I had a large job lined up before I put in notice. Running with 3 guys and doing well, also feel I’ve gotten my freedom back despite the extra hours. Something I missed when I was a W-2! Only thing that sucks is I don’t have as much time to annoy you folks.

I can say that about my whole career, but like you it seems to have worked-out great (y) :)

Oooooook...

Elaborate.
You misspelled "Corrections" in your post:
I work in the Department of Correrctions.
I'm a maintenance manager for a metal forging company. We make parts for the commercial aerospace, medical device (orthopedics) and defense industries.

We joke that we make parts that will blow you up (defense) and parts that will put you back together again (medical). ?
