Yeah, we're scheduled to close two hours early today, so it's kind of a waste that I took today off. That and I've already had to do a little work, of course. But at least I'm in my PJs playing games instead of sitting in my office.

I made the mistake this weekend of telling some friends that I'm considering retiring in 10 years. They asked the question everyone always asks: "What would you do all day?" My answer was the same as always: "Whatever the fuck I want!"

If I had not gotten married and had kids, Id probably be able to in 10 years too. The math says I am on track for 15, but I am unfortunately thinking it will be longer.

I think to avoid being a total slob I would get some shitty job. I could work at Gamestop until Vig got me fired for not giving a fuck or at a beer store until I got fired for bogarting all the really good stuff.

How do you calculate when you're on pace to retire?
Click to expand...
You have to know what all your assets are, what your expected rate of return on those investments are, what age you want to retire, how long you expect to live, what your expected income from your retirement assets are, etc...

TL;DR: You do a lot of math

Getting out at 4. Most people work till 6. I am usually out at 5 so whatever. I will probably wait a bit for all the lunatics to leave the parking lot.

Yeah, I use a crazy spreadsheet that tracks all my spending and assets. Then you have to make some assumptions. Tyler, I can send you the spreadsheet if you're interested. I got it off an early retirement site.

 
I'm here at my real job doing nothing because most people took off anyway. I'll be out by 2 or 3 so it's all good. I like these days at work...super easy and chill.

To be honest I had to Google it. I had a pretty good idea and was right. This stuff is much larger gear then I get to work on.

Probably the area of IT I should have gone into. Find it more interesting then most of what I am doing now.

I had to look up what the Nexus 9k was. Too many different model names for Cisco stuff and I only know the ones we have in the lab (7609). Working in a fiber company, I can't go 5 minutes without hearing about some form of sfp.

I know dick about planning for retirement. I have a 401k that I've been dumping in to for like 14 years and that's about it for me.

Like Gator said your ahead of a lot of schmucks. I am probably one of them as I only put in the company match of 5% since I got married 10 years ago. I am going to try and up it to 10% this year and then maybe the max 20% in a few years. But then I think fuck it, Ill be dead at 60 anyway so might as well stop it entirely!

I don't really deal much with the networking anyways. I have a flash array to stand up for some database/vdi stuff and that's more in line with what I do. My boss just told me that the array would connect with 10g copper instead of fiber and when it arrived with fiber ports there wasn't much that I could get the installer to do.

Honestly that's one of my big motivations to retire early. Age discrimination is pretty real.

Yup. A good friend of mine with 20+ (maybe 30?) in IT. Mad certs got laid off about 6 years ago and bounced around a bit. Mostly I believe due to his age. I tried to get him in here once but didn't work out. Supposedly my manager at the time didn't think it would be good having a friend of mine in the same department.

In retrospect it probably was better for me career wise he didn't get the job under me. He had the skills to replace / work experience to do my job. But then who knows maybe it would have forced me to move on to bigger and better things.

I am not quite at the age he was when it went to shit for him. But I do think about it more and more.

I have been at 8% for years. Got married and bought a house. Wanted to creep that up to 15% by now but well haven't moved it up in years. I guess I haven't lowered it either though.

Started out when I got my first job at max of 15%. Kept that going I think the entire time I was at my last job. For a while at this one I was at the max as well. Then the company got bought, no more match and the funds were shit. I put that money into a different investment vehicle. Once the 401k match started back up due to another buyout I started back up and am doing 10% now. It is all into a Roth 401k now though. I was used to not getting the tax break on that money and just stuck with it since I prefer Roth accounts anyway.

Puppy pics soon. Gotta run to work for a couple hours, so I'll upload when I get there. I've been using new puppy excuses to get out of work all week lmao. Thanksgiving is actually a good time to have gotten him for me, the feds never (really) work over the holidays so it's easy to just "work" from home.

 
I am also working a full day today but i do have Friday off at least. Since I work for a hospital that is open tomorrow though we have to use vacation time for both days :wall:
 
I'm digging the short levels of Lego Batman 3 on the Vita.  So much less of a grind than on the consoles.  And I should have brought it to work today.  It is dead at the moment.

Finally someone else that gets it. Even if the Vita games are ports of the 3DS, the games are more fun due to the way it is all broken up.

Full disclosure: Lego Batman 3 Vita is the only one I have not played yet.

fuck Gator and Simmias. I will be working til I die.

The only real problem is math doesn't account for life. I mean shit happens and as much as you plan it doesn't always work out. I just go with Pharm on this one and if I get to retire earlier than that's awesome :) I'm about also about 15 or more years into my 401k, always been smart about that one. I have an older 401k that I never rolled over, thinking about putting it in a Roth though to diversify.
