Terry got sick of working for drug cartel with fast food restaurants as their fronts
Terry was a stray cat in a past life. He even got them with the tried and true “wander into their lives” method.
I love when people take in strays and share their stories. Strays are so deserving of love, and their stories are so inspirational.
Thank you for taking care of Terry, and giving him a place to nap and be happy
Omg literally crying
I am retiring soon this seems like a good course of action.
Fucking A right. This is my retirement goal right here.
It really seems like this dude woke up one day and asked himself what a cat would do, and just embraced it.
“Cats seem pretty happy. Maybe I should go hang out with them and learn their ways.”
Somebody please give me $3.7MM so I can retire and be this man
Right? So many billionaires wouldn’t even realize it was missing. Just give me $4M so I can fuck off.
I did the math, and if I suddenly gained 980,000 I could continue living my current lifestyle on 2% interest my current bank has.
If I had 1,500,000 I could live a comfortable lifestyle just off the interest.
The downside is, I’d lose my free health insurance. And my last statement, not bill, showed my treatments without insurance would have cost about 1 million dollars for the 3 month quarter.
Seems high. My wife and I are retired in Seattle with about half that net worth, which includes our home value (which isn’t even paid off).
In Seattle, or in Kitsap county? I’m also guessing that you don’t have massive medical bills.
Seattle not Kitsap, no massive med bills.
I used Kitsap as an example. I’ve noticed that plenty of people will say “Seattle” but actually live in a town well outside the city with far lower housing costs.
We live inside the city limits in a larger house with a relatively hefty mortgage that accounts for the majority of our annual costs, despite the good APR. The biannual chemotherapy is a similar majority of the medical bills.
Could probably make it work with less, but that’s the shortfall from my back-of-the envelope math. Actually just started working with a financial advisor to figure out how to make it happen.
We’re inside the Seattle limits. I highly recommend getting a financial advisor. Ours charges 1% of the fund as an annual fee, and consistently grows it by 8-10%/year, which is better than I could do and zero effort. Our fund is actually getting bigger even though we live off the income + SS. The goal is to give our daughters a nice inheritance, not hand it over to some corporate nursing home so we can sit for an extra couple years waiting to die. If that choice ever comes up I’ll be off to Switzerland to use one of their nighty-night nitrogen pods, which are legal there but not here in Freedomland. Anyway good luck!
I’m still a long way from being able to dip into SS, but my partner would at least qualify for Medicare within the next decade, which would help significantly.
The mortgage should be paid off just a few months after I qualify for SS, so that would definitely help me coast at that point, but I aim to exit the grind far before then.
