Yep! I retire in 5 months. 55 years old. With full pension.
My house is paid off and I have no debt. Since I have no bills, my pension will cover my needs just fine. It’s not a huge pension or anything, but I’ve worked for my state for most of my adult life, and whittled down my bills to almost nothing. So I’ll get by just fine.
I plan to just spend my time in retirement doing exactly what I want. I’ve recently started a local branch of my favorite socialist party, so I’ll devote more time to that.
Plus, I’ll do a lot of writing, a lot of Lemmy posting, garden more so I can grow most of my meals, and doing DIY solar projects so that I can cut back on my bills even farther. Because fuck the capitalist power infrastructure in my state. My state’s BS laws won’t let me go completely off-grid while here in the city, but I plan on reducing how much I have to pay as far down as I can go
Yep, pretty much the game I played. You’re doing it right.
