  • If i cut back a bit on spending i could retire now. My job can be super frustrating, but I like my coworkers and my i have some very fun days. I’m not quite ready to give that up. Summers and holiday breaks give me a taste of retirement and I’m often ready to see my coworkers and students in August.

    ETA- one of my coworkers tried to hold out for two years after she was eligible for retirement. She had a stroke which completely killed the ‘buy a boat and sail around’ plans that she and her husband had spend years saving for. That scares me.








  • We ordered it from Costco. They have a great return policy and will pick up things they delivered if you want to return them. Plan was to buy a mid price memory foam mattress and then, if needed, keep exchanging it for the next one up until we hit our budget limit. The first one was perfect! It’s been 9 years. I don’t know how long beds are supposed to last. We rotate it periodically and it’s still crazy comfortable.
