You are so close! Eyes on the prize! I just loaded my retirement countdown app on my phone this week. Am really enjoying taking a peak at it this morning. You are so right about illness and death sending home the message that we don't have forever, and tomorrow isn't promised. I've lost 2 family members and a friend since New Years.
Best of luck to you and your wife! You are on the home stretch.

My older brother has worked in oil drilling for 40 years - went from field engineer to analyzing logs to sales. It is a tough job, definitely not a 40 hour week, and we worry about his health and want him to retire which he plans in 2018. The oil bust has created even more pressure on him and others to keep their jobs but seems to finally be recovering some.
