    Trust in me
    Money’s not the issue
    Happiness is…
    Retirement is awesome, it’s just that you have to learn to give up a lot of things to enjoy the morning walks, or the views from your windows…things like that, the little things that take no money.

    Here are my entries for the day.

      No, really, I’m not kidding. I honestly won’t ever be able to stop working–there’s nothing in the bank! With a mortgage to pay and other expenses, I have to have money coming in!

    I’m afraid that’s my reality as well. It’s a bit daunting.

    We are in the same boat. I must warn you, though, that the older you get the faster you must row to keep it going, and that isn’t easy.

    I have a pension and social security. Together they are about half of what I was making. we’re getting by OK, and can afford a few luxuries. My wife can start collecting in August.

    By I also have a fair chunk in retirement accounts, which does a lot to ease the mind.

    Your situation illustrates how society undervalues the most important things. It’s a damned shame.

    Lo siento,

    When I win the lottery (which will be an even more miraculous feat since I don’t even play), I plan on being the youngest person in the world to retire!

    I hope to be able to retire someday, but since my possible year isn’t until 2031…that is just depressing to think about. And no, I’m not counting the years…another teacher just couldn’t understand how I didn’t know so I finally looked just to satisfy her.

    House and cars paid for. Enough years with district for lifetime health benefits for hubby and me. Small teacher’s pension to pay rent on an SF studio. Small military retirement to buy groceries. Then we have to get jobs to pay the rest, but that’s ok. It’s not teaching in an inner city school.
