No I took time off work and havent worked since october last year. Its been absolutely amazing. But I did work for 25 years before that so I have built up savings.

I live off savings and the stock market and it works pretty good. But now in starting to be more worried about a global crisis because of oil and fertilizer blockages, which will tank the stock markets if it happens.

So im currently being careful. The coming month will be very interesting. If industries are affected by oil shortages or if food prices are affected by no fertilizer, people will get worried.

I quit the whole rat race. Early retirement with pension. It's way better on this side of things. And I never had the nice tech jobs that made most of lemmy rich anyway (even tho you all complain about being poor--$85K+ is rich for most people, guys). But at least I don't have to work anymore. :)
