I retired at 52 with a $3M net worth – here's what my spending looks like 8 years ago
I am 40yrs old, and "shame-retired" with $1.5M in cash (still single and renting).
I say shame-retired because I still feel ashamed to say this out loud. Certainly to members of the opposite sex.
I live in a crazy-expensive city. So sometimes panic sinks in and I feel i am heading to a life of poverty. Especially thinking about my peers with 6-figure-$US equivalent salaries.
Am i crazy or a realist ?!
(To be clear, i have a CS degree, lots of experience, and can go back to tech but only as a developer drone...)
