I’ve been doing this since i was 18. Now I’m 50
. Oops
I’ll be retiring at 65, the year our mortgage is scheduled to be paid off and I will have no issue living off SS alone if that’s all I have since I’ve gathered every toy I want, and have mostly done everything I wanted to do. I have never believed in waiting until later to indulge my interests
Use a life expectancy calculator and see how many “weeks” you may have left…..this might motivate you to stop now, depending on how much abuse you’ve subjected yourself to
