Bugs,
Every healthy male I know who has retired so far continues to work part time because it keeps him sane,need for funds or not.I just hope work is available for those that need it when the time comes. I could be happy tending to a garden, having a pet or two and visiting with friends regularly. I did consider the fact that having three homes free and clear in San Diego might give a guy options. I probably will want to stay here. Frugality is a funny thing…our home is paid for,cars are paid for and because we are not flashy at all people just rain things down on us, especially clothes and neccesities for the kids because they think we are poor. Second hand furniture …It’s easier to give it to me than take it to the dump!
I build things for people sometimes(60ish year old boomers). They buy $500 faucets with their construction take out loan money while I am telling them I put average brands in my house because it is all I can afford!We are all going to be dead before my average faucet has to be replaced.That is a $400 difference that doesn’t have to be earned or if earned is available to invest just over one faucet.
TV? Whats TV?
Best wishes…
