Negative. I worked my craft nearly to death between age 19 and 41 and retired the day I got my hours. Now I draw several pensions that afford my wife and I our lives and I still have a couple years to go before I'm 50. Most are either forced or choose to retire well into their 60's. When I first began my career, I intended to retire by age 40. 41.... close enough.

Amazing. Well done you!

Hey when we're going back and forth like this, don't worry about upvoting my comments. I mean, it's your HP, do what you want with it. But when I'm engaging with someone, I typically upvote the first comment only unless of course something's exchanged I really appreciate.

By voting only that first comment and not the entire conversation, I'm saving my HP to support original content. Does that make sense?

Just a suggestion. You're doing great.

I understand! Thanks for the tips. It totally makes sense :)
