Retirement goals

I am retiring soon this seems like a good course of action.
- It really seems like this dude woke up one day and asked himself what a cat would do, and just embraced it.
  
  "Cats seem pretty happy. Maybe I should go hang out with them and learn their ways."
- Fucking A right. This is my retirement goal right here.

Terry was a stray cat in a past life. He even got them with the tried and true "wander into their lives" method.
- It's like the movie Soul but in reverse.

I love when people take in strays and share their stories. Strays are so deserving of love, and their stories are so inspirational.
Thank you for taking care of Terry, and giving him a place to nap and be happy
- Omg literally crying

Somebody please give me $3.7MM so I can retire and be this man
- Right? So many billionaires wouldn't even realize it was missing. Just give me $4M so I can fuck off.
  
  I did the math, and if I suddenly gained 980,000 I could continue living my current lifestyle on 2% interest my current bank has.
  If I had 1,500,000 I could live a comfortable lifestyle just off the interest.
  The downside is, I'd lose my free health insurance. And my last statement, not bill, showed my treatments without insurance would have cost about 1 million dollars for the 3 month quarter.
- Give me 1MM and I can be this man easy.
  
  That would only generate about $25k/yr without touching the principle or being outpaced by inflation. You can take 4% but you'd run out of money in about 30 years and $40k would be worth roughly half. But if you can live off $25k you're good to go!
- Seems high. My wife and I are retired in Seattle with about half that net worth, which includes our home value (which isn't even paid off).
  
  In Seattle, or in Kitsap county? I'm also guessing that you don't have massive medical bills.

Man I gotta be more like Terry

That is freaking fantastic.
My cat, Tizzy, loves his brushes.
But, being the good poppa I am I ask him if he wants a brushie and rub the brush on something.
He comes running.
I want Terry's job.
So cool

Terry got sick of working for drug cartel with fast food restaurants as their fronts

My daughter volunteers at a cat shelter once a week. Most of the time she's transferring data from old paper files into the computer system, but she spends about a half hour playing with the cats.

Living his best life.
