Genuine question: why wait til 55?
There are tons and tons of really cool technical problems and projects out there that aren't financially lucrative but have huge positive benefits for people.
Having an experienced person volunteering to work on something would make a world of difference to many of these projects that have tangibly positive effects on people but struggle with funding.
- fnordpiglet 3y agoMostly I’m building replacement income. I’ve saved up enough to retire on an annuitized drawdown on my savings, but I would rather keep those assets as liquid assets and acquire income generating assets over the next decade or so. That way I can live in the places I want to, have money set aside I can take risks with, and otherwise live a carefree life without adjusting anything in my lifestyle. Essentially I want to be self sustaining on an annualized basis rather than on some projected drawdown basis. Plus I’ve landed in well paying gigs that I enjoy and don’t want to stop building big things for big bucks yet. I’ll do my smaller dreams next, I think I’m ready to slow down and focus on something smaller next.
