Just looked at price of the vertex I have....holy crap have they gone up. I bought mine for $460 ish on a group buy about 6 years ago. Like $650 now.
I'd highly recommend the vertex but after seeing the price I'm not so sure haha

First I am sorry about your disability. I had my brush with that, back surgery and fortunate being a bicycle rider which is the only aerobic type thing I am allowed. I was able to work my way though it but never the same as I was, some of it is the pain (managed fairly well) and the limitation of 25 lb s.
I hope to retire in a couple more years. Sadly to the point that I will make as much being retired as working. So much for 30 years of dedicated service.
If I can pull off retirement Then it will be more fun to do the prep work. Now it interferes with my shooting!
I retired 13 years ago. No Pension, just SS and the proceeds of my own investments along with a 401K. Funny thing, not having to go to work for some reason makes money go a lot farther. Less wear and tear on the "wardrobe", more time to cook nice meals at home rather than just eating out every night because your "dog-@$$ed" tired after work.
Rather than taking trips where you have to fly and then cram as much fun as you can in a week (or two) one can just pack the car, truck, RV, with supplies and take off on a leisurely "camping" trip, coming home when you feel like it.
One thing I'd like to pass on, don't put off retirement any longer than necessary and when you do, don't put off things you'd like to do. Nobody has any guarantee that tomorrow will be there for them. About 8-9 years into my wife's and my retirement my wife started to feel less and less like going anywhere or doing anything. About two years ago she really felt crappy but the Dr's couldn't find anything. Just over a year ago she was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer and passed away 8 months later. It is a guaranteed fact that we all have a finite lifetime but nobody knows how long it will be. Make the most of it while you can.
