ORIGINAL: HansBolter Time for a Geezer update. On July 1st of 2020 I made the decision to retire early after having just turned 63 on 6/22. Early retirement comes with a reduced retirement benefit in the good ole USA, but since my house and vehicle are paid for and my overhead is low (well except for the burden of feeding my 10 cats), and my younger brother moved in with me to both reduce his overhead and lend me a hand, I am managing well enough on a third of the income I used to enjoy. My time now is focused on making a dent in my 150+ model kit collection (working on a diorama of the first lunar landing), playing AE, getting a really serious garden going this year, spending time with my beloved cats and making regular trips to our country dark sky property for stargazing. Transforming into a full time hobbyist is pure bliss! Hey Hans, other than the 1/3 loss, sounds pretty good for a grumpy post....GP
