Sure, I'm just 'loaded up with money'. That's what Trump told me.

As I near retirement age, I have tried to seriously curb any useless spending. I only report to an office twice a week - so that has saved me on money for work clothes, etc. No longer do I need the latest fad in fashion.

With a possible recession looming (aren't we due for a 'correction') I'm preparing to downsize - kid's gone, etc.

Then you must be homeless and cashed out your 401k. My home(s) are at 2005 levels, which is just below the market peak, and my IRA (401K conversion) is up substantially since 2016 when I retired, and I'm taking withdrawals now.
