Retirement isn't likely any time soon since it is my business, but I am 64 this year and may take my SS next year and just pay my husband only going forward.
So many things going on right now. Maybe (probably) doing a new project with an old customers. Maybe (probably) getting a refinance on the house to finish some projects and sell it. I have done zero about Christmas. Didn't even bother to get my decorations out of storage. I want to go somewhere but the kids only have a couple days.
At least I am happy to report that DH and I are still sticking to the dieting and walking. We did make an eating out exception after the 5K on Saturday since my MIL was here, so we ate breakfast out. But other than that it is all home cooking real food.
I'll probably keep working as long as my eyesight holds out. Hopefully there will still be Social Security and Medicare when I get there. And an Education Publishing industry up til then.
Operation Trojan Flowery 19th Century Bird-Watching Diary
is a go, with a foam compartment cut inside to hold the actual gift. Now I just need to glue the fake front diary pages to the spine and wrap it up.
Getting a 30-year mortgage in LA real estate at ages 42/46 means we will be retiring never. This is my 21st year teaching since I started so young. I don't know if I have another 30 years in me. Maybe 20. But I'll definitely have to get another job after that unless ND's business gets to a point that it could support us both.
Man, I'd like to retire in 2031 or soon after. I need to look at numbers again and see if I am heading towards that reality. I really need to make headway on my debt in order to do that though.
I won't evee retire. I mean right now I work in retail getting paid less than mu Best Buy job.
I don't know my future and it's scary. It seems that retail is better for me emotoinally/mentally than the office jobs but I don't think I'm cut out to be a supervisor. When i worked in an office it was so hard to have anything leftover for life.
It's frustrating amd scary thinking about the future.
Retire?
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHA
Ahem, uh yeah, I don't see that happening for me.
Askye do you have benefits with your job?
Preeety sure that retirement is not going to be an option for me, because Pete is a freelance artist.
Tim's brothers and SiLs (all in their early to mid-50s) are looking ahead to retirement, and Tim and I are both like "Well, I'll be working right up until the morning of my funeral, so."
OTOH, my mother is incapable of slowing down, and was officially retired for about 2 nanoseconds. Then she got bored and got a part-time job that expanded into a 3/4-time and sometimes full-time job AND she took a year-long course to get certified to teach yoga and then opened a yoga studio in her basement AND teaches yoga at other locations. The woman is 71 years old and had major heart surgery 6 months ago. She is a dynamo.
