Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Hello,
I'm 54, a full-time housewife, avid Runescape player, and a mom of 2 young adults.
I'm always interested in learning about financial independence. I learned long ago how important it is to have some income that isn't totally dependent on the whims of an employer. I spent longer than I should have making mistakes as a beginning investor. It wasn't until I did a 180 that things started finally coming together for me. Now, we're at a point where going to work is more of a choice for my husband rather than a strict necessity.
He doesn't have plans to retire anytime soon. He's 54 also. He still likes his job for the most part. Outsourcing is becoming more of an issue at his employer, so I'm just hoping that he can retire on his own terms rather than having it decided for him. But if not, I think we're prepared.
No questions at this time. Just thought I'd pop in and introduce myself.
