    Yep! I retire in 5 months. 55 years old. With full pension.

    My house is paid off and I have no debt. Since I have no bills, my pension will cover my needs just fine. It’s not a huge pension or anything, but I’ve worked for my state for most of my adult life.

    I plan to just spend my time in retirement doing exactly what I want. I’ve recently started a local branch of my favorite socialist party, so I’ll devote more time to that.

    Plus, I’ll do a lot of writing, a lot of Lemmy posting, garden more so I can grow most of my meals, and doing DIY solar projects so that I can cut back on my bills even farther. Because fuck the capitalist power system in my state.
