Bolded, good for you!-

I took early retirement at 55 instead of going to 62 and only lost a few percent in pension credits. My declining health and to be honest my trade is a young mans game. My wife also retired early, for the most part our long range plans worked out well.

I'd like to retire now but won't. I have my military retirement and my wife has one also. We're gonna wait until at least one of us can draw Social Security. Then our monthly expenses should be taken care of by those sources and our 401ks can be used for vacations and what not.

It says...

Based on your household income and the number of people in your household, YOU are in the UPPER income tier, along with 20% of adults in HOUSTON-THE WOODLANDS-SUGAR LAND.

And that only 8% of the population with my background and education, are in my category.

Sounds like I better not screw this job up or I'm doomed.

That's what kept me IN the top 8%. Most upper class "have a guy". Failing electrical fooled them in to thinking I must "have a guy".

Nope. What I HAVE is a fire extinguisher.

My kids grandparents and aunts and uncles live in Sugar land.

They got their asses blown out of New Orleans during Katrina so what do they do? They all moved to Sugar land. I asked my ex in-laws, you ever think of maybe moving a little up north?

The dream would be an ice cream truck to live in instead of a van.
