    Also self employed. My situation is a bit better than yours (99% luck, I know how I got my contracts) and I’ll probably be able to retire, maybe even a little early if I can keep up my skills until retirement.

    However, my plan when the money starts running out or the back pain makes it too hard to get out of bed every day is the same as yours. I don’t plan on getting married. I’m not leaving anyone behind. I’m not going into a bang 'em and bin 'em joint. My back has been degrading since I got rear ended in my 20s. I have a couple of acres in the middle of nowhere that’s entirely wooded where no one goes (I guess, I only check on the place twice a year…taxes are almost nothing because no one wants to live anywhere near it). I’m going out there and just becoming one with nature.
