Last yr my new boss decided I'd become a bad employee (after 34 good yrs) and canned me. I'm hoping to make it to my 60th birthday in 15 mo, when my pension #s make sense. In the meantime, I'm scraping by. My house and both Porsches are paid for and I have no exs or kids (that I know of), so I'm in a good financial place. The biggest issue is trying to get both COTA and Indy squeezed into the DE schedule. Those are both expensive weekends.

I'm enjoying life and I don't miss the corp grind. I'm officially old since I only play golf with the retired guys during the week. $25 for 18 & a cart during the week is a whole lot better than $50 on the w/e.

Great story you have here.
We have very similar story. We are both debt free and it feels great. Both purchased 08 limited or special editions. I have two homes and all paid for. One is a rental property.

Some of the thread text had me confused until I realized it was 2017 and not 2020. Incidentally December 2020 marked 10 years since I acquired my ‘04 base. Time sure flies like the miles.

Awesome story, I had a smile on my face halfway thru it . Like Deserion, I only realized it was from 2017 after I finished reading it .

Beautiful.

My fave until the green wrap is removed.
