archizzy 09/06/25 5:38:51 PM #17:	It would depend on what "all the events" entails. If it was just a once a week service for like 2 hours then yeah fuck it. I could retire early because I'm not really working for money at this point. The money is fine but I have like 80% of my monthly check left over every month. I really have everything I want and I have enough in my retirement that I can draw the accepted "4% rule" and would easily have enough to cover my expenses for the year. Like double what I need. So basically I'm not going to run out of money. If my insurance is covered then yeah I can stop working. So if it means sitting in church once a week for a couple hours means I can completely retire and be off the rest of the time? Sure I would do that. I can zone out for a couple hours a week. --- PSN ID: sled_dogs76 60" Pioneer Kuro Elite PRO151FD, Yamaha RX-V3900 A/V Receiver, Oppo DV983-H player.

Payzmaykr 09/06/25 5:39:02 PM #18:	They would probably expect tithing (money) or volunteering in exchange, so it wouldnt really be free.
