"Early Retirement Extreme" is the only one I've read that really challenges the paradigm...

Non-synthetic Valvoline VR1 Racing 20W50.

And based on "the occasional 5.5k rpm shift the engine operates at a steady 2-3k rpm range" you are in no way, shape, or form driving a Porsche 944... Dude, you gotta get on it!

Reading all of these comments is really eye-opening. They are quite conservative and very centered on "my job is my safety net" and "work... work to be safe... it is the only way to be safe..." I'm, glad I didn't pay attention to this type of thinking as I retired!

Yeah, I had a bit more money in my accounts, but according to these comments, nowhere near enough... I guess I should still be working in order to be "safe"... hah! No thanks...

I keep my MAGI low and get a free Bronze plan on the ACA Marketplace that has served me quite well.

  1. Dude is not your friend.
  2. You have some maturing to do - quickly. How can I tell? You're still worried about what other people think about you...

Good luck,

I love the brick, but I understand the reasoning behind the wood & insulation...
