I’d like to be able to not be afraid of life at a lower income level by 50. I agree though, probably continue to work after 50. Other capacities like teaching kind of interest me.

I am wondering why you are expecting a lower income, generally careers move forward and income goes up with age. I agree with you about being comfortable and not worrying.

I just mean having the option to take a lower paying job at 50 if I feel so inclined. Teaching is appealing because of summers off and I like to teach.

Dude @mmmargeologist you would be an awesome teacher man. My geology teacher in college was super rad and you remind me of him a lot. Plus like you said summers off :)

U da man @dotcomzzz . Really appreciate that. Can’t wait to wear my g Tran kanata with corduroy pants and wire framed glasses full time one day. Maybe I’m over romanticizing teaching high school. But who knows it could be fun.

Same here. It’s always tough finding the balance between spending a stupid amount of money on clothes and saving money so that I can retire early/move to a different career down the line.

Dream second job would be national park ranger, but that’s not an easy gig to land. Second choice would be history teacher.

I can't wear thick acetate anymore after wearing a lot of Mykita and MMMxMykita. They're just so light in comparison. Those are so good @RegisDB9 methinks I will use my FSA next year on another pair :redface:

Damn bro I’m really liking dat quality weight from JMM

I tried the Zephirin but it didn’t work out well for my face

Marengo / Jax / Torino since you liked the mollino

Will be giving those a try for sure. I have a place near me that will get them form me to try on

Alright the Dealans are awesome, couldn’t be any happier with them
