I’m only 41 and I’m tapping out too

[–] BlackAura@lemmy.world 1 points 4 minutes ago

Yeah also early 40s. Hoped to retire in 4 years or so but it's getting harder and harder to stick it out.

Retiring? Or changing careers?

I don't think I can retire right now. I hope you are doing better than I.
