TIME IS FADING FAST

[The Batman 2020Participant 2112]

When you are red pilled nothing really matters anymore anyway. What’s the point of a big house, cars, stuff and women when you know the truth? Sure you can have a lots of hobbies and freedom but you are an outlier.

Your 20's are for learning, your 30's are for earning.

Yes!
Dark Side is the most perfectly executed concept album ever made.
And the lyrics to this song are beautifully, brutally honest.

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I’d something more to say.

Would anyone really want to live forever?
We get our time and should make the most of that. Problem is most of us are programmed before we know it. Programmed to work, pay taxes, buy s~~~ we don’t need so we pay more taxes. It’s all designed to feed the machine the matrix.

There are some pearl of wisdom in this thread. Bail as early as you can. Live your life the way YOU want.
I don’t know what others are looking for from life but happiness and contentment come top of my list.

The stoics say that we can find that within us regardless of what the outside world looks like. But yes it sure makes a difference if the outside world looks good too.
If you are not happy. You have an emergency on your hands. Don’t waste a f~~~ing minute. It might be the last minute of your life.

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape, finding oneself in the ranks of the insane. Marcus Aurelius

Time. My god. A concept you only understand when you truly lose it all. Most can’t imagine what life would be like to live 400 years in PERFECT HEALTH.

That’s the thing. You got 400 years to f~~~ around. That’s a LOT of f~~~ing around. Thing is, its the LIFE you live. But since it’s already been taken away from you, well. If you had a spare 400 years? Dude. You can f~~~ing rock some things. And chances are you might even be able to do things others could never dream off.

I don’t doubt there is a person who has some kind of super slow metabolism, or some other kind of medical issue where they do not age like others do. But lets be clear, DO SOMETHING f~~~ers. DO SOMETHING.

F~~~ing enjoy life. For some its just waiting till people die so you can be right there watching them shoot up that needle and watching them slowly cry themselves away to a f~~~ing death. It’s beautiful. Nothing better then being able to watch as a f~~~er that f~~~ed you over sits their in torment knowing that the end is near. His life is f~~~ed, and its only going to get worse.

Decay is wonderful to watch. You want to enjoy their decay.

For all those guys thinking about poor f~~~s working until they die? Guys, that is their social life. I’m sorry, but its the truth. Why stop working? What else are most people going to do? Who are they going to spend the time with? People at home that don’t give a s~~~ about them? Most of these people have no real dreams or want to do anything anymore. SO WORK is ALL that they have. THey SAY they hate it. But its all they know.

Gents, let me give you old in the head F~~s some advice. Live brothers. LIVE.

You are all alone. If you have been falsely accused of RAPE, DV, PLEASE let all men know about the people who did this. http://register-her.net/web/guest/home

“The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you’re inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.”

I retired early…took a pretty heavy hit on my pension and my ability to contribute to my TSP (a 401K program)…but I was in a highly unusual position of being able to afford it since I had another source of retirement money…watched some co-workers die around me, had friends from my childhood die…and I was having health problems…so I figured I would just punch out early…take the financial hit and enjoy what years I have left (however long it will be), but I was able to take my health insurance with me.

Turned out to be one of my better decisions…(so far)…but time will tell. So far I am loving retirement. In 4 years I will be eligible for taking social security early (62)….I am still undecided on what I should do…since I don’t need Social Security….but I did pay into it…and one part of me wants to get my money out of it (take it early) while I am still alive…and another part of me thinks I should kick the can down the road to 70 to maximize it since I don’t need it…but doing that…means I most likely won’t live long enough to get past the break even point than if I took it at 62….so I don’t know.

I was advised to apply for medicare at the first available opportunity even though I don’t need it with my health insurance.

Everyone’s life is different….you will have to figure out what works best for your situation. One thing for sure…the best years in retirement are the earlier years when you are still healthy and mobile to do things.

I have to figure out where to move…(I hate my state: weather and food is great, and it is a great place to ride motorcycles and do things, but it sucks for everything else)…
I think I want to move to a place that is Constitutional Carry and has fairly low property taxes and fairly cheap property….small to tiny house…enough acreage for privacy, and a very large garage or barn, preferably in an area with interesting topography for riding motorcycles..

I used to think that “maximizing” a pension/social security was the way to go, but the older I get the more I realize that the powers that be want you to maximize your pension so hopefully you will minimize how much you collect by dyeing sooner and collecting less.

I “retired” at 38. I still work. I’m still married. The greatest part of all is that according to my state’s law I can lose half, worst case scenario. I can live on that.

I am lucky enough to have good health and smart enough to have good permanent income. The STBXW doesn’t even see her fall coming. Every other day wasn’t an option, but she’s lazy.

I just bought a new bike. If I die she’s taken care of for life, but I’ll die laughing inside my helmet.

I failed to realize in my youth that I was the prize. I was going to work. I was going to earn. Little did I realize that due to feminism, that no longer meant I had to share. Road soon, Desert after.

[EyeswideopenParticipant 2930]

If it was my decision, I’d take the money as early as possible.
Max. means nothing if you’re dead, if the plan folds, or if they push the “max.” Eligibility date back further to keep it solvent. Carrot-stick method.

I’m sure if I were to die today, I’d still be smiling.

I’ve lived a full life already, I’ve done interesting things, went interesting places. I’ve looked for and found the truth about existence (answers that satisfied me anyway). For the most part, I’ve been true to myself. Anything else from now on is icing on the cake.

A higher-than-ever-before salary is helping me do things I’ve only dreamed about before. I may or may not get my pilot’s license at some point in the next 2-3 years. I’m the only person who can make that decision for myself.

So can every other red-pilled man.

Working to max out social security is a terrible, terrible investment. Basically…the way it works…

The less you pay in the better your return on investment. Its based off an average of your highest 35 years of earnings. If you make 100k a year for 35 years you will pay in 2x what someone who makes 50k a year for 35 years does, but you will not get 2x in your SS check. If you make 100k a year for 17.5 years you will pay in and get out the same as someone who makes 50k a year for 35 years.

If your 35 year income average is about 60k a year(adjusting prior years for inflation), you hit that second bend point, and your return on investment is absolute dog s~~~. If you’ve already paid in 35 years and are sticking around to max out SS by having a high year bump a low year, the actual impact on your social security will be pretty damn minimal.

For as much as people bitch about pensions becoming less common and social security being all f~~~ed up, its a blessing in disguise. Retirement doesn’t have to be some bulls~~~ formula tied to years of service and age anymore, retirement is now a number. Hit your number and walk away. If the average person wants to save 5-10% in their 401k and work right up until full SS age, that is their problem…I’m saving much more than that now so I can GTFO earlier and whatever I get for social security and my pension(if it doesn’t go broke) will just be a bonus…not money that will make or break my finances.

I am about to transfer to another, warmer and sunnier, city for work; voluntarily downgrading my pay and responsibility, initially with the intent or regaining my old level of pay and responsibility in a short amount of time.

Now I’m giving serious thought to just staying in the low-responsibility job and just enjoying my last three years of work before retiring officially.

Why push myself back into all of the stress and demands that come with a few extra dollars?

I just might consider myself semi-retired from now on.

Cheers!

@beer
Wow.
You and I seem to be thinking exactly alike.
Reading your posts here made me realize I’ve been planning the exact same thing!

Sorry about the double-post.
Anyways.
GTFO while you can.
Establish whatever “means” you will get from the earliest possible retirement and then LIVE WITHIN THOSE MEANS!!!

You can be happy living “poor” if you are doing what you want instead of slaving away to be a little bit less poor in the future.

I was watching some TV shows from the mid 80’s, and I started looking at some of the actor’s bios. Well, this one was dead 10 years ago at the age of 56, and that one was dead 16 years ago at age 62 etc.
The point is that it doesn’t matter how rich and famous you are or you’re not. Those years tick by so damn fast. I see these people at work that are in their 60’s, and they have enough resources to retire, but some just can’t get enough. Do they think they’re going to live forever?
I have also had a friend get out early to relocate/partially retire to Florida and take a low stress job. He doesn’t miss this place or the job.
Another friend of mine partially retired on the early side as well after the S~~~ got so deep that he found himself choking on it. NO Regrets
Personally, do what ya want, but I just don’t see the point.
I’m TIRED of putting up with and answering to morons in the workplace. I’m TIRED of the idea that I must work to a certain age to maximize my pension which will more than likely just MINIMIZE MY LIFE. I’m not interested in living in the best nursing home in town….
I’m trying to hang in/on to the stupid moronic career/job that I have just long enough to get my kids on their feet, divorce myself from the parasitic attachment, and build “just enough” in a pension fund to get the hell out of Dodge. Find a small lil house/trailer somewhere QUIET, and finally just be able to WALK AWAY from the MATRIX OF WORK and LIVE FOR ME.

I have the small place where it’s mostly quiet. Great weather yesterday and as I was simmering a big pot of vegetable soup on the stove, I had the windows open with a nice breeze airing out the house. Watched a rabbit hop around the yard. With a rusty truck and a small unimpressive home out in the weeds, I feel I have it made. Only problem is, I don’t have anywhere near enough money to stop working. Don’t know that I ever will. Time is quickly fading and I may die before I get to retire, but whatever. I’m making the best of my life the only way I know how. Work to pay the bills and house payment and enjoy my life as much as I can when I’m not at work.

I used to worry about not having enough money to retire, but years ago, I decided to stop worrying and just live the way I want to right now. I’ve seen too many guys work and scrimp to save for retirement and then die with a shi t load of unspent money two years after they stopped working. I don’t blow all my money, but I don’t save a bunch of it either. I don’t worry about a tomorrow that may never come. I live for today.

I try to enjoy the simple things in life, and work on some contingencies (like a bunker) but I don’t get wrapped up in negativity about doing so… its just one more thing I do, such as planning for if stuff DOESN’T go down the crapper in my lifetime.

I enjoy my time in my gardens, and I will also be constructing the “anti-bunker” … a Japanese tea house that will be built onto an existing pool deck for which there is no pool. (the above ground pool was removed before I bought the house but the wooden deck was left)

All my life I've had doubts about who I am, where I belonged. Now I'm like the arrow that springs from the bow. No hesitation, no doubts. The path is clear. And what are you? Alive. Everything else is negotiable. Women have rights; men have responsibilities; MGTOW have freedom. Marriage is for chumps. If someone stands in the way of true justice, you simply walk up behind them and stab them in the heart-R'as al Ghul.
