We're celebrating early retirement at the end of this year! (Already had a party with my mom telling old people stories with her retired friends.)
Debts are almost fully paid, goals are met, just gotta learn to live on a lean budget and fixed income.
Having no kids, no car, not eating out, and having very little social life for 25 years FINALLY did pay off! (I'm only 42 years old, and my companion, Dick Splinters, is only 34!) ...I've worked in a medical lab for about 24 years now...kinda shaved several years off my life working mostly night shift, but I'm really feeling more and more like my old self every day and I'm hoping this next chapter in my life can be about my family, creativity, and enjoying the gift of time that I have been lucky to get.
I will say this...
I'm quitting over the mandates. What is going on is considered a war crime... look up the Nuremburg code. ...anyone with high school education can see that what is going on is very sinister.
mRNA = messenger RNA (that's not how vaccines work... that's how you tell your cells what to do...do you want the government doing that?)
untried over long term trials = experimental
forced vaccines (or through coercion) = war crime
...and the government does NOT care about protecting the peons. ...getting the people to pressure and police each other has been done in the past... I'm so sad to see people sucked into pressuring others into an experimental medical procedure (gene therapy, to be specific), people should be concerned about their right to choose...
The vaccination status of others should be confidential, and does not change the effectiveness of the status of others.
Do your OWN THINKING, these are really basic truths that anyone can see, NOT MISINFORMATION.
Anyway, I'm celebrating early retirement. I have not taken 1 CENT of any covid relief, or bonuses, or extra pay at all. ...it's rare these days, that hard work can get you somewhere other than in debt, but it's possible.
Myth: "You're too young to retire"
Response: No... why should all my best energy go towards some full-time job until I'm nearly at the end of my life? Hard work and sacrifice should have a reward, and getting to have some of your good years for yourself and your family is just as important as a strong work ethic. Besides, I'm no good to anyone at all with long-term stress burn-out. Time to be myself again 100% of the time! If I live just to work (and pay taxes so others don't have to work) then I may as well just be dead right at the start of my life. There has to be SOME reward for working harder, and sacrificing health for job!
The people who made it possible, I have thanked in person. I'm excited to start the next chapter of my life, and I'm lucky to be able to enjoy it with my parents, and husband, and sisters.
I'm still slow with communication, but I think of my friends out there often, I haven't forgotten you!
I'm hoping to have lots of music, art, smut to share in the coming years! I'm still young!
-Much Love, Countess
