And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit.
The important thing is to leave all of this open for periodic re-negotiation
5 years into early retirement and nothing to show for it. Stuck on my acquired hobbies (some of them I´ll have to drop due to disability or absolute lack of progress. People tell me they would kill to be in my situation. And they are right.
But I wouldn´t go back to work. And it seems that I can´t find any hobbies I would really like. Boredom has long ago settled in. But I can´t complain seeing what there is around me.
Well, enough is enough.
How does everyone else with a spouse or SO do it? Do you have seperate accounts?
Can that help pay for an RV, or a down payment at least?DW usually fails to spend all of her allowance money in any given year, so the balance rolls over to the next year.

OMG.Even if you can pay cash, an RV qualifies as a domicile and interest on it qualifies for tax treatment. Oops, I am bringing up the mortgage controversy again.

Fixed for you.Well, most [-]foreigners[/-] citizens of other countries already know that residential mortgage interests in the US are tax deductible.

No - never have. If either of us has a major purchase we want to make, we mention it to the other, but we don't sweat the small stuff.How does everyone else with a spouse or SO do it? Do you have seperate accounts?
Wow - what a great SO!During those times I took care of the parenting & home stuff so that she didn't have to do more heavy lifting. I also made sure to be around when she got home in case she needed to vent.
Thanks! It's my personal self-preservation longevity-enhancement program.Wow - what a great SO!
A bit surprised by your fixing, I conferred with Mr. Webster, and he said a foreigner is "a person belonging to or owing allegiance to a foreign country". So, it means the same thing as "citizens of other countries" to me. Does the term foreigner have a negative connotation that escapes me?Fixed for you.
Umm... Tough luck there. Somebody once explained to me that a domicile must provide shelter and has a kitchen and a toilet to qualify. So, cars and tents are out!Some poor souls live out of their cars, and some live in tents. Are those tax-deductible?!
