I think retirement is a pipe dream...

It's amazing how much money you save by eating home cooked meals, driving your vehicle years after payoff, not needing a new cell every time the next one comes out. Been retired 7 years in Dec and adjusted very well to not doing dammit on most days. Dable in woodwork, have afternoon happy smoke, occasional Natty Light and Evan Williams. Livin the high life on cheap street...if I did not have excess baggage (wife) I would be in PI or Thailand. Great memories there...
