No the youngins have their work cut out for them. I don't really need to work but I do work. Mainly to try and help my two kids come up with down payments for a house. Boy do those need to be a bigger sum than what I had to come up with. Once I get my kids in homes I will continue to work. I would like a better life style for myself but not really much better. I want some acreage so I can grow most my veggies. I get my meat through hunting and fishing for the most part.
I was off all last week and I'm off all this week. I'm already bored to death. Probably because it's winter. If it was summer time I would at least take the dog on 2 long walks. One in the morning and one from 4-6pm. Those 2 walks break up the day.
If I can work from home, no way I am going to retire at 62. Let's assume I'll get $2000 a month from social security. All I do is send quotes and process orders, from my laptop. It's too easy. So my plan is to buy a condo in Florida when I turn 62 and work from Florida Dec-March or April.
My dream is to also buy 20 acres that I can hunt but my brother has 60 acres and a home up north MI and I will probably never buy my own property because I have access to it. Plus I'm getting old. It takes years and energy to develop a piece of property. I'm so glad my brother bought his. I've had so many great experiences up there.
I sent him and his sons this video last night because of this one line in the song
Not everybody got that spot out in The Forty
Some ten point buck they shot hangin' like a velvet trophy
But we do Don't We?
