I retired at 45 with $380k and a paid off $200k house and that is pushing it pretty good. Assuming you have the 40 credits needed for SS then I think you'll be ok but if you can work at all you may want to get a little income added in. Even just mowing the neighbors lawn for $100/mo or something like that. Most people will say you're crazy but I think you are pretty close to being able to make it work.

More broadly - and you already know these things - the car repair, trailer repair, or health repair is not IF, but when. It’s all a ticking time bomb of costs that you will need to navigate. Toss the healthcare uncertainty in (since, you know, Merica), and there isn’t enough cushion IMO. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5884899&forum_id=2/#50016335) |

Date: July 22nd, 2026 8:13 PM Author: cowgod cowgod180 OP • 1m ago Btw, fwiw, for the record, I did attempt the approved route.
Economics degree. Bombed OCI.
Law degree. bombed OCI.
MBA. Bomb. They call it OCR in Business School btw.
LL.M. in sustainability, obtained shortly before the institutions decided sustainability meant PowerPoint decks, layoffs and replacing the lights in the lobby. 💣
Each one was presented as the missing key. Each opened onto another waiting room full of people holding the same key.
So, okay. I got the hint.
The market spoke. The universities spoke. The recruiters spoke. The firms declined to speak, which was perhaps the clearest communication of all. At some point a man must stop returning to the counter with another certificate and asking whether this one is sufficient proof that he may participate.
I am taking the ball and going home. Not metaphorically, either. The ball is $280,000. Home is a Trailer. The interest clears. The electricity remains on. There are games, though The State of AAA Gaming is grim. I asked the system four times what it wanted from me and brought back exactly what it named.
Economics. Law. Business. Sustainability.
Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb.
Now it asks why I am no longer trying.
‘Nuff said. |

This reads cool and all, but how much low wage work have you done? I've done quite a few low wage jobs - diner restaurant, sandwich shop, theme park, farm (as a picker), daycare, warehouse, and maybe some others I'm forgetting - and I've never had that happen with the file, the scrutiny, the whatever. Probably the only one I wouldn't do again in a pinch is daycare just because it's too much responsibility.
I never had to beat sales numbers or know products very well or any of that. I and everyone else who worked at those places below management level came in, did the work, clocked out, got our money and left. Occasionally you're asked to help out coming in when you weren't scheduled, but that's about it. No manager was really expecting anything above and beyond.
I know that this type of work can suck and everything has it's downsides, but I actually had more fun then at work goofing off with coworkers than I do now in my cushy, white collar job. And I liked being active, the momentum of waitressing or the farmwork was great. I wish I had that daily step count again. My sister is still a waitress and we compare/contrast sometimes and if it wasn't for the material pay difference, she definitely has the sweeter gig.
Of course, it's your life, but if I was in your situation, I'd definitely be getting a low wage job to double your available monthly income for a couple years. You seem one or two bad months away from this house of cards falling down, and that's a lot of stress to take on just to try and stick it to the man. I'd look for an active low wage job so I could kill two birds with one stone and get my step count in for the day at work. |
