You are probably too young to pull the plug on working forever, but if you can make the rules most years from now on that is an accomplishment. When I retired from the military at 54 I knew I would have to work again but I did some cool adventures for a few years and stayed out of actual retirement funds.
Thanks everyone.
Yes that is my plan. I think financially, unless something really wonky happens with my portfolio or my spending habits really change, then I can afford a relatively basic lifestyle without working a single day ever again. But that's not really what I want to do, it's just nice to have that possibility.
I need something productive to keep me busy anyway. I wouldn't be surprised to find myself working in some sort of limited capacity relatively soon. Maybe even later this year? Who knows? But from now on I'll be working because I feel like it, not because it's some sort of an obligation. This isn't about doing nothing, this is about having the freedom to choose what I do.
