    I am an early retired electrical engineer. I hunt, fish, and have fruit trees all over my yard. I also repair and/or replace all my own appliances. I do my own plumbing, electrical, and handyman work. I do my own car repairs and maintenance. I make my own furniture out of palette wood and bamboo grown in my yard. I brew my own beer. I do all the cooking in my house since my wife is still teaching. Stop by and have a home brew after work!

      Appreciate the invite. Now, I apologize if you felt attacked, but if your total net worth isn’t above $50,000,000, I was not talking about you.

      You seem rich in life, though ☺️

        Early retired means living off my investments now. My wife only teaches because she gets bored at home.

          I’m not talking about early retirement. The first comment was talking about rich people and then you commented you’re retired, as if to imply you are one of the rich people the first comment was talking about.
