Hope the job hunt goes better.
It's hard for me to think about retirement, even though I am only 15 years younger than you. We do have a retirement plan but have only invested in it a little bit, since we became self-employed 16 years ago.
I can't think about investing that far in the future when there is so much to think about now. We are trying to live debt-free except for having a morgage. In which, would be something we may have for a very long time! Since we got six children who all need to go to college. I would like to build one or two houses on our property to relieve some of that future debt and prepare for retirement.
In my retirement, I would like to own a resort here in Pittsburgh along the rivers w/pet resort in connection with RCI; starting out small with a small hotel and just the property. One of my goals in retirement is to travel the world and spend time with the grandchildren. Is there anything that the two of you would like to do in having your own business?
We would love to travel a bit but the cost may be prohibitive for us; this retirement came 3 years earier than our planned retirement would have been. That means that some things were not paid up yet (such as the mortgage, and my long term care coverage, etc. This year I doubt we will work (unless I get something) but time changes things, so who knows what the future holds? Only He who holds our future. God bless.
How refreshing to hear that you like having Bigdoc around all the time. You're definitely in the minority on that count. Bigdoc is a lucky man.
God bless
i do hope something perfect for you comes along... have a nice day
