All any of us had to do to retire at 49 was work an ungodly number of hours for the city starting at age 18 or 19
Yeah, as @GritNGlitter said, I started super young and already have over 30 years in there. I'll do a little something else to make some extra cash, but it was time to be done there.
It's probably how we should all be doing it, a lot to be said for winding down when you are. Congratulations again!
