Well the other thing to remember being a Brit, I've only been in the US for 5 years.

So I haven't been paying into a 401k or social security for ~20 years like most of you guys.

You've all got a huge head start on me there, hence it's time to put away the toy, and start being a big boy LOL

Troop, the darth vader Nismo will be sorely missed, luckily you joined the awesomeness of the whiteness club with your new ride (FL 4Motion - you know who you are and what you need to do

). I let out a slow motion and distorted "Noooooooooooooooo" war cry when you told me you were getting riding of the Nismo; upon seeing the new WHITE pimp truck and hearing your valid reasons, I was very happy for you. The car looks fantastic and I'll be riding shotgun when you take it for donut spins

Great plan Jay. I very much enjoy what I do to abruptly stop in the 50s but I had been doing all the planning to be in a situation where I could afford to work part time "GOD willing of course", go back to be a firefighter volunteer or do what I love best on Earth (traveling around the World - Kirk is already living my retirement dream). Hey, another excellent retirement tool is the Roth IRA if you qualify for it. I had great returns with mine at Trowe had to stop contributing because income limits made me ineligible. It offers better returns than traditional IRA for most
