Congrats on the forced retirement, sounds like you'll be fine. The one thing that surprised me when I retired in 2021 is how much less you spend than you do when you're working.

CONGRATS on your retirement
Now celebrate by purchasing a great car, like a C4. |

I retired at age 55 from my construction union, due to tons of OT I was able to retire with full pension and good medical as if I went to full retirement age 62!. Now (78) Of course those OT hours also get a good SS check. |

Working at 73? Hell I won't be alive then. I'd retired at 37 if could have.
Congrats on "retirement" |

As far as the OP, Two million in savings and 6-grand in monthly SS…should not be a worry at all if your working days are over. |

It's about your age, no offense, but I have seen this hundreds of times. They use many excuses, but it's against the law to fire you because you are no longer productive and set on your ways. After 55 we are gound beef.

I'll spend 10 minutes preparing a killer fresh salad for lunch for well under $2, instead of a crappy $12 burger and fries. Also have the time to walk a couple of hours a day, logging about 170 miles per month. So healthier as well. |

It is for him. He went from playing with Tonka and Buddy L trucks to the real thing. I have a friend like that, Lar's same age. He LOVES restoring old antique cars and tractors and grading building sites, etc. Like Lars, he doesn't drink and is a bible thumper. Also he is in top shape and tough as a mule due to a lifetime of physical labor and good genes. I watched his dad cut a '65 IHC pickup in half and strip it down with a torch at age 85. Doing what he loved. If you do what you love, you never work a day in your life.
