I don't understand this desire to "get to retirement"
Do you all hate your jobs that much? If so, why are you doing what you do?
And retire to do what? I know people love to pretend that they are going to do all these amazing things but everyone I know that is retired is bored.
I have summers off, I used to think it was the greatest thing in the world...until I found out how boring it was. The idea that you will take all these trips and see the world or that you will spend more time on your hobby, it just isn't true for most retired people.
What hobbies do you guys have that take up 8 hours a day, 5 days a week?
Unless your work is physical and back breaking, I don't get this rush to retire.
