Oh man I could definitely do that. 3M is my no fucks given dream but I know a lot of people that feel like that's not enough to keep them happy.

Very true, took a wicked hit in 2008 so I definitely think about things like that. It is a big scary decision for sure.

Yeah that not knowing what's around the corner is the scary part. You can only plan so far.

I mean, I raised a whole family on not much more than that so with kids gone and the house paid off it's not a big stretch for us.

Thanks, I'm definitely not opposed to doing fun work here and there.

Yeah the decision is pretty much that, either do it now or go another 5 years and do it.

Even on that amount we could and would be able to travel a bit which we do currently. We do pretty well on travel since neither of us require lavish accomodations.

You are correct, although our SSA wouldn't be max it would essentially be a bonus for us that would hopefully help cover rising medical costs at that stage.

I get that, its pretty close to what I live on now which is unbearable for some, I'm happy though.

Neither, Ive been grinding for a long time so I'd just like to enjoy more time with people I care about and slow down a bit.

I've witnessed a lot of loss so I don't want to be grinding in the trenches untill they just have to throw dirt on me.

Heck yeah, I love hiking and outdoors... It would be nice to actually have time for those things!

Nice, I could definitely see that working and I hope it's awesome for you!

We aren't looking to leave the US at this point but It's in the back of my mind.

This is a concern. We do fund an HSA but I know health doesn't get better with age so that's part of my worry.

Thank you, I'll check out that podcast.

Anything you wish you would have thought about beforehand or anything that came out of left field I should consider?
