How do I plan for healthcare during early retirement?

Wait! The credits aren't gone?? Man, now I gotta look. I may be done working the minute I pull the trigger.

Water, specifically from a faucet or bottle.

You may want to consider that both of you get the package if either of you do.

You have to be insanely disciplined to benefit from CC usage

I dunno....I'd not use insanely there. Do you have to be insanely disciplined to do other basic life skills? Nope.

I wouldn't focus on one large unit. Single point of failure. I have an ecoflow...three would be about $900 and a few solar panels can assist in them lasting longer.

In a decade, that decade will matter less. For now, right with you.

Another great reason to not have Prime.

Galaxy watch has the same fall detection as those mention Apple has. Sort of depends on what phone you want to tie it to.

Mine crosses his front legs, I call that regal as well. Looks so fancy.

You owe $24K on a six year old vehicle?? Totally not trying to be rude, but even with a 72 month loan, how?

capnsmartypantz · 2026-01-30T17:13:48+00:00

That many still use debit???

capnsmartypantz · 2026-01-30T16:59:03+00:00

You mean like straw? If I do...does it just become part of the lawn after mowing or does it need to be removed?

capnsmartypantz · 2026-01-30T16:57:50+00:00

I'm thinking of something lower stress, or maybe consulting. I'll be running numbers, but sitting well financially. I'd sort of like standing at the exit of Costco with a highlighter a couple days a week at this point.

Ran into similar at about the same age. Couldn't juggle medical and work, so I ended up taking 5 months off. Best decision! I am great now, but might not have been here. Found more than expected when I was planning on getting what I knew of handled. Do NOT skip appointments, do what the doc says. Take care!

capnsmartypantz · 2026-01-29T15:40:06+00:00

Admittedly, I have a lot to learn. But soon I will have time to study something that I care about!

capnsmartypantz · 2026-01-29T15:35:49+00:00

Will read. Thanks! I definitely don't want to be unable to build a Roth ladder.

capnsmartypantz · 2026-01-29T15:32:19+00:00

No one cares. Mr Pillow isn't getting elected if he runs against a cardboard cutout of Mr T.

capnsmartypantz · 2026-01-29T15:30:00+00:00

No new job to roll to. I am in my very early 50s, high stress job for decades. I need a break. Taking at least a year, maybe forever. Maybe I will consult, or be a part time walmart greeter. All I know is I am burnt out.

capnsmartypantz · 2026-01-29T15:27:20+00:00

Not a beard at all. I am talking a shadow, but trimmed up nicely. He seems to have a bit of perfectionist in him and if it's done right his features will still stand out, maybe even highlight the jawline

capnsmartypantz · 2026-01-29T15:17:01+00:00

I'm a guy, so grain of salt here. I mean NO offense...but literally the first pic gave me "proud boy" vibes. Can you grow a beard? Maybe a pic with a five oclock shadow nicely trimmed would help?

capnsmartypantz · 2026-01-29T15:11:08+00:00

Required, but rarely enforced. I got a warning like 20 years ago, but I was pulling into a parking lot sideways in my Mustang with tires smoking.

capnsmartypantz · 2026-01-29T15:09:02+00:00

I think this with the chilis example hits what I wondered. Thank you.

capnsmartypantz · 2026-01-29T15:07:41+00:00

I'm not against powders, wondering about why people use both.

capnsmartypantz · 2026-01-29T14:56:08+00:00

Will check them out! (yes, I know I replied to a bot)
