My DW and I both turned sixty, and she pulled the plug on her profession in late 2020. I walked away from being a lawyer at 36, and have had a few income-producing endeavors after that. Our retirement situation is complicated with a severely physically disabled adopted adult son who we occasionally have to work for when his caregiving situation breaks down. During the pandemic, that meant he moved back home, and I was back doing that hard physical work full time. He is back at college this semester.
I don’t really have any pressing questions, I signed up for the forum digests a few weeks ago, and have been soaking up information. We are comfortably set for the future because we have always lived modestly. Caring for a disabled child was expensive so we are less well-off than we might be, but we will do fine. No pension or annuities. Our plan is to manage cash, investments and then social security. We are debt free, own our own house, and have some additional land in another location.
Our present project is tracking the money that we spend under our recently retired lifestyle. We are in the process of consolidating investment accounts to reduce fees.
