My wife and I have been living in Germany (working too) for the past 24 years! DW is about 1 year younger than I am. I will be 60 in a few months so took VERA with a smile! Life here has been good but life in the States with our family should be a lot better! We have a house and a family farm. The house and the farm are not in the same place. We have contributed to our TSP since we were hired at the max allowed so we have built up a nice little nest egg! House is paid for, farm has a mortgage a little credit card debt that will be gone this time next year (max). Cars are paid for. We have about 6 months of expenses in savings. That is about it! Life is going to be GREAT!
