          Beware, that was me 6 years ago. Now I’m on meds for blood pressure, antidepressants, anti-anxiety, I need regular physiotherapy (keep good posture kids) and I just had to have 6 blood tests because I’ve had a stomach-ache for 2 weeks and noone knows why… I genuinely don’t remember what point I was going to make, so I guess this is just a rant now. But try not to follow in my footsteps.

          Edit: Word

            Just because I spend years trying to figure out what the stabbing pain in my bladder was, you might want to consider referred pain from the spine. Or referred pain at all, because at 40, it’s happening a fair amount.

    Rest easy, in the US, because of the QOL disparities, current tables aren’t publicizing how much less time poor people get once they “retire”, which now includes working for the most part and collecting social security disadvantageously early. It’s 4-6 years less life for the poor’s collecting SS at lower rates–so you won’t need a full 11 minutes of funds, probably 8 or 9.

      Living in a forest takes a lot of hard work if you intend to stay alive. Not what most retirees are looking for.

    There’s the problem. He did financial planning. Buy property, tools, plant fruit trees and learn to garden and forage.
