Wealth is slippery. I feel like money, like water, always seeks its level. I grew up lower middle class and we got by. I had low paying jobs early in my career and somehow we got by. Now I have a high paying job and I mostly save the extra money, so I get by, but with a nest egg. I think no matter where you are there is always somebody where you can’t believe how much they spend and someone else you can’t believe how little they can afford to live on.

I’m getting older and hit my early retirement net worth number about 6 months ago, but somehow it’s hard to pull the trigger and retire early. Thoughts like, if I let the nest egg grow a couple more years potentially I could retire with a little more income than by working as opposed to a little less. Also it seems like every time I think of stopping work, some big bill pops up (a couple of emergency room visits at $1800 a pop even with insurance, some broken plumbing in the house: $2000, roof is getting pretty old and has developed a couple of small leaks, new roof is $12,000, thinking about adding central air to my house as I’m getting too old to drag ACs in and out of the windows every year $16,000, wife’s car is around 8 years old, probably will need a new one in a couple of years, etc…). It doesn’t feel lavish to replace a 10 year old car. So yeah, it’s nice to have a paycheck when big bills come up.

But people do manage to retire somehow, probably with a lot less money than you have. I have a feeling when I finally pull the trigger it’ll just go back the way it was when I was always broke. The money seeks its level and you get by somehow.
