[QUOTE="wizer, post: 271585, member: 1245"] Yes, but further out. I moved in with my girlfriend several years ago. She makes serious money too and we're considering retirement, possibly doing the one house in a cabin in the woods on a lake (maybe Catskills or Adirondacks or out of state maybe Tennessee or Carolinas or PA) and the other a condo in Florida for those cold winter months. At this point I'm only working because I don't think I could handle 7 days of leisure time and it's just too easy flipping lenses. Plus we're really busy because of the backlog due the pandemic and being closed for 2 months and lots of competitors never reopened - couldn't handle the financial burden of closure and lots of doctors (in all professions) just threw in the towel and retired early rather than dealing with the new way of practicing medicine. Through the grapevine I found out she's working a menial job taking temperature screenings in a local school district and living in a small apartment, she never met anyone. Full circle right back to where she was when I met her 30+ years ago. [/QUOTE]
