Definitely takes alot of hard work , smarts, sacrifice and sound financial decisions over the years to achieve the accomplishment of retiring at 50. Wasn't the goal back when I started. It was live paycheck to paycheck and scrape enough together to get a car and house and keep a roof over my family. Could have made more money elsewhere but knew by staying this goal would be closer. 7 hours ago, Stormpc said: It's family money.... My dad won $100 lottery once. He gave me 50 cents. I turned that into the multi-dollaraire empire you see before you now. Can't see it? Neither can I. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've worked damn hard to get here. 28 years of working in the hottest of hot and coldest of cold, dodging traffic and dealing with ticks, dogs, black widows and working on top of an 80 ft dam. Its just time. I haven't been off the board for most of this week....but this news, ANY news of someone who can retire younger than ME, always makes my day, hell, my year! You're young, you're (I assume!) healthy, you have kids at who are all at fun ages....enjoy the hell out of ALL of this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 It's Friday. Good day to sip on something high gravity. Almost cracked open the 2014 120 min IPA, but since I had a fresh one, I went with that. I compared the bottles, and damn the aged one looks quite dark by comparison. It wont last much longer, and I will pick up a few more next time I head to the beach. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its magic stuff for skin, hair, joints, etc. Kala Health on Amazon. Take it everyday. Can get it as a lotion too. I use it after every shower. I am old but well preserved lol.

Can only imagine how Waterboy feels lol I sound like a bag of microwave popcorn when I kneel down on the ground. I snort lines of advil after I exercise. When it rains my left elbow flares up. I get vats of lotion to deal with my ashy ankles(that what your fave troll say they look like). And don’t get me started on how much Metamucil I take. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only we could all move at the speed of light in a vacuum.. time would slow down and we would barely age. Ofc for that to happen, it would require we have no mass, so what fun would that be?
