To me, RENT > stocks, bonds, ETF ... etc
I cannot imagine myself at 85 still needing to analyze financial trends. By then, read also got problem. On the contrary, I should still be able to lock and unlock a door for my tenant. 
Too late for me to build any more pipelines. I am just a few years shy of 55. Maybe you can? |
I get it, and like you rightly mentioned - retiring should be trying to move to a less stressful lifestyle. I hope you move to the right job soon and start planning for your travels after retirement
