Hi folks, just wanted to say 'hey' and I'm soooo happy to have found this forum....I know NOTHING about retirement planning, and I want so bad for husband to retire....they're working him 70+ hours per week, on call 24/7, with NO guaranteed days off! He's 60 years old, and the work he does is hard on his body. He also has arthritis, which makes it doubly worse. I really want to keep this guy around a lot longer....after all, he is my best friend.
He FINALLY got a two week vacation starting today. So, I want to know how to begin this process with him before he gets back to work.
We currently have three rental properties in our small town, with not much income from it really. Am thinking about buying more that will produce more income....so he can retire.
I'm not savvy at all, so help me get started, okay? Where should I begin? He's worked for this company for 30 years, and there have been bad times before. But there is hope of things settling down a bit soon with the hiring of new people to take on some of the work. But I still want to be ready to retire soon. I don't think he can last much longer at this pace.
We also have an 80 year old Alzheimer's parent, and a ten year old nephew to finish raising.
HELP!
Any and all advice greatly appreciated!
