Oh, yes...the OMY type. Just one more year! And if it shows I am ready, add a new car (have you seen the price of a nice new car? And you deserve a very nice one!) and that will solve the "problem."
Won't bore you with the details, but I whipped the spreadsheet until it said I COULD retire. I was done with work, so I switched personalities to a cheerful and sunny optimist. Best thing I ever did.
I tie this so much to the business world… Seen so many finance types incapable of making a decision without a spreadsheet (which were mostly made up numbers anyway, i.e projections). Or it could be a horrible decision, but since the spreadsheet says so… then I guess we have to do it!
They’re fine data points, but a loose proxy for reality.

Loved this, thank you 🙏. I feel very seen, but also as though this is another prompt (I’ve had a few recently) to just get on and make some leaps…
