It took me 6-1/2 years to get a 4 year degree, as I had to work for a living (even though the GI Bill helped). :violins: My GPA was good (I was on the dean's list) until the semester I met my wife to be. GPA tanked and I had to work more hours to support her. After I graduated, I went to work for a company that ran me around on promotions and pay raises for 25 years, with a brief stint of 5.5 years of being unemployed and underemployed. I worked my ass off, saving all I could. Management asked me when I expected to retire; I told them 65. My wife nagged me into seeing a money advisor. I went, and found out that I could retire at 62 (3 years ago). After that whole tale of woe, you may ask why I'm happy.
TL;DR version. I had enough saved and invested to retire at 62, and am enjoying retirement quite a bit.
