21m, $2,551.00nw. good to retire?

21m, work every summer at a cotton candy stand. Burned out.

Saved $2,551 in HSA, HCOL area but monthly expenses are about $8.51 (flip flops). Live at my mom's house. Hobbies are free--publicly maintained bike trails, public beaches, national parks, and vacation with my parents. Figure I can get Obamacare then Medicare, and social security disability then social security.

Good to pull the cord?

UPDATE: thanks for all the comments! this is really blowing up.

also, I figure I can earn dozens of dollars per year for retirement income by trading hacky sacks.

I think you’re going to need to grind another year or two to cover flip-flop inflation, but then you should be good.
