I would have had a hell of a lot less debt and probably would be living easy by now instead of wondering how the hell I'm going to retire before I hit age 70.
This is my worst fear. Every time I see downsizing the only ones to go are white males. In 5 years no one will hire me on a different project then the one I am on, even at reduce pay my skills do not transfer that well so why pick me instead of someone 10-15 years younger then me. I've thought about it a lot and I am not prepared to be a dead beat, if I ever get in a point were I can't work I am tapping out.
It's never too late to start learning something new, on your own time, or try and parlay a hobby into a side hustle. I've given serious thought to taking classes in locksmithing or learning how to do 3D-modeling as a side gig.
