Whiling walking a mile to the store under the noon sun. It hit me - if we are living this hard with a 6 figure salary and benefits, how could we manage without those in retirement? It is confirmed again when I have to cut the two week old grasses. I hate mowing the lawn and the mosquito bites.
If you are retired, you can walk to the store whenever you want. It does not have to be noon. Or, you can wait for the car to get back home, then go to the store. Or even better, have the person using the car pick up what you want on the way home. Likewise, you can pick and choose when you mow the lawn. I try to pick a time when the mosquitos are not active.
I could pay to have these things done for me, but I prefer to be able to keep doing them myself.
