Spoken very well. It’s great each of you have found the simple things in life of a well balanced retirement life that you enjoy.

This! We were being very frugal(not as much as the op) the first 3 years or so if retirement. I was healthy etc doing very physical activities and I come down with a rear cancer. Luckily they were able to take care of it with surgery only. I spent a couple of weeks in MD Anderson in Houston and...

I was very fortunate to land a decent job with great benefits at the age of 19. There was an older gentleman that I worked with was an investment guru in my eyes. I was lucky he took the time to explain the basics of investing and the benefits in the long term benefits of it. I mirrored his...

We will be having our traditional Thanksgiving with immediatate Family and grandkids. Our girls and one of our son in laws work in the medical field. My wife and I stayed away a couple of months but life moves on. Wrong or right we will deal with it as it comes.

Agree totally with these statements.

We moved to an area I grew up and we have had acreage for almost 20 years. It’s very rural. Fast forward, we built our dream home (way to big but the wife is still happy), we are still getting settled in 4 years later. Now an unexpected major health issue has came up that leads us a 3 hour drive...
