Pay attention grasshopper

[grasshopper]

Never planned my retirement, but saved lots, drove old trucks, and bought expensive homes. Started saving/investing with Vanguard 30 years ago, still do.
At age 54 and my wife 52 looked at our net worth, and said why not. Sold the house on the lake, bought 40 acres half a mile from a wilderness area. I still look at my life as "just not working anymore". We will do some traveling and good life stuff once SS kicks in. After 5 years of living off my investments, I find that I have more money than I had when I quit work 5 years ago. Not so bad.

Not bad at all. BTW, DH and I still have the pick up we bought in '94

Nothing, I just feed the birds and critters, and neighbors are few and far.
