My most conservative retirement planning has me checking out at 95 with $25,000,000 going to waste.
Work less, spend more & enjoy your 180 days off a year.
I agree. My side hustle is putting in green slips. Sometimes they call me. Most of the time they don't. I spend more time on the lake fishing than most professional fishermen.

I live well below my means, so if I lose my medical, get furloughed, or the company goes under, I'll be just fine.
I invest over half of my income in total stock market index funds. I prefer the liquidity over brick and mortar real estate investments.
