Interesting... I'm contemplating retirement VERY soon. If my investments start to take off again (hopefully after you
know who stops with these petty "wars"), I'll have enough to become a full time sysop, if you know what I mean.

I've crunched some numbers, and even if the markets do maybe 5% return, I'll still make out OK for the next 30 years,
and maybe even 40 years.

What I'm afraid of is 1) running out of money before I die and 2) not saving enough to count for inflation.

I think I can take care of both of those if I play my cards right.

I'm just waiting for July 2026 so I can retire with full benefits if I so choose to. After that, it's all an option
that I stick around where I'm working. (It's not fun anymore... just doing it to collect a paycheck at this point.)

For those who are within 5 years of retirement - what are your plans?
