Misty Miller thought she was ready to retire. She'd paid off her mortgage, minimized her monthly expenses to $800, and had over $500,000 saved for retirement. "I did the math. If I retired, my pension check would net me $3,000 per month, and I wouldn't need to touch my savings for years," she said. "So at age 58, I turned in my retirement paperwork. What a mistake that was."Within a week, she was filled with regret. A few years later, she had little left in savings.

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Jake Gabbard, a video producer at Business Insider. The conversation has been edited for length and clarity. It was like one of those moments in the movies where the main character says, "You're probably wondering how I ended up here."I was filming at the US Army's Mountain Warfare School in Jericho, Vermont, and one of the soldiers had just put an avalanche transceiver on me.

I source exclusive plush toys from arcade claw machines and resell them online through platforms like Mercari, eBay, and Poshmark.
