Jesus Christ. I was hoping for an early retirement, but if it means my brain will rot to the point where I'm posting 15 times a day about dividends or combing through someone's post history from 3 years ago and selectively edit old posts and make them look like pump-and-dump scams, then I'd rather work until I die.

The answer is obvious. Quit working, quit stocks, buy an annuity!

Well, no. Since everything smart-sounding has to be overcomplicated, buy a long TIPS ladder with a big lump at the end. Live from the ladder till the lump matures, then put the lump into an immediate annuity.
