    My mom ‘retired’ with ‘much much less than “millions”’. She stopped working at 75.

    She lives in a small $2/sqft/mo rental with dodgy power, asbestos in the walls, windows stuck shut, people staggering past the fuse box all night, miner bees in the walls, and shit Internet. It’s a coastal town with no access by roads - just ferries - and minimal services. It’s a half-day to get there, really, or an hour’s flight.

    you may need to experience your version of ‘doable’ before you commit to it.
