Dryer sheet wannabe
I ran across this forum today and thought I might have something to share. I retired early in 2000 with a little fear and trepidation after reading so many financial websites telling me I was TOTALLY UNPREPARED. I had no 401K since I owned my own computer business for the 35 years prior and my Stock Fund was a disaster. I had some property to sell, but the market was so depressed that was not an option.
I have nothing against those who deprive themselves so they can retire as millionaires, but I since learned you can probably do just fine if you play the hand you were dealt careful enough. Hey this is the information age and opportunity is behind every corner, at least it was for me.
So take it from someone who has been there and done that, suicide is NOT the only option left!!! I have more fun and see more of the country than I ever thought possible on our budget, so don't give up hope.
