    1. I don't trust Social Security to meaningfully exist when I need it.
    2. My career has been volatile so I haven't been able to put as much into tax advantaged plans as I would like. (401K contributions are use them or lose them. If you lose your job before you hit the limit, the remainder that year is just lost)
    3. Housing costs keep soaring. I don't own mostly because of #2
    4. Health costs are also soaring and my need for healthcare is increasing
    5. Health burdens in terms of time make 5 days/week in office intractable but the insane RTO push is removing my options.
    6. I am currently unemployed. There is real danger that I am already "retired" and just don't know it yet
