In response to Critical Mass posted by bbaddict:

My biggest reaction was one of relief and well-being. I really began to enjoy life and nothing at work (or even in my private life) much bothered me anymore. I slowed down my lifestyle, and stopped to smell the roses. In fact, I began to enjoy my work so much that I postponed 'retirement' for several years. I can't say 'retirement' has changed my lifestyle much, except that I spend much too much time on Kirk's site!

Obviously, CM must allow for property taxes, insurance, medical costs, food, utilities, travel, entertainment, and windsurfing. But the only (potential) killer is medical costs. The best thing to do here is to try to spend the last few years of your career with the Federal Government or with a generous State Government. That's my best suggestion. Also, if you want to be considerate of your heirs, get some LT Care insurance.

My backup plan was always to comit some Federal crime and be sent to a minimum security Federal pen. Conditions there are not so bad; you get your three squares and medical for life, or as long as you remain there. It's probably better than most nursing homes.
