The weather sucks today. Cold, windy, and threatening rain. Guess I will be mowing grass on Easter Sunday. Oh well.

After all these upgrades ~ You may decide to stay put

No this is at my youngest daughters house in Wilson. Our house in Shelby will be going up for sale in about 5 weeks. I am currently doing some repairs and painting there as well.

I got my daughter started on the right track. The oldest and youngest stepsons are going to be well off. Middle stepson is finally in position to do something.

I am putting money away. Don't think I am not. I just won't have 2 million stashed away when I retire.

It was 70F when I started to cut grass and do some yard work. Just got done when the rain hit and the temps dropped to 60F. Getting ready to have dinner.

Between me and wifey. We got 1.2 put away. I figured if we would have stayed working until 65, and today's market. Think we would have close to 2 mil.

We started planing for our retirement in our mid 30s, my wife retired @ 53 and we had no mortgage no car or credit card payments, I always believed in delayed gratification not immediate gratification. We stilled traveled and did what we wanted but there were always limits, and the retirement plans were always first and now it's time for this plan to pay off !

When my first wife died. I was completely out of debt. Remarried and got back into it with the motorhome, some home improvements and Obombocare.

I've worked with guys who make $150,000 a year and have nothing to show for it. Or bought a mini mansion that they will be paying on for the next 40 years at $4,000 a month.

A million these days ain’t ****. I wouldn’t feel comfortable walking away without 5 million plus. Of course I’m in my early 40’s and it would have to last longer.

1 million, you can retire on easy. You have to change your life style and still be comfortable. That's with any retirement. If you don't change, you will spend more then you planned for. I had a hard time getting my wife to change. She finally got the message. She wanted to travel all the time. That takes money.

That's what Hotrodz and I keep preaching. It takes money to have fun. Keep working.

We may go out to eat 2 times a year. That's it.

so im just getting home after a nice full day at mr. madwi's place... i replaced my fog lights on my QX, very very nice upgrade over OEM... and then I did the AAM test pipe install... talk about a complete painus in the anus.

Im pretty sure, I broke my index finger pulling the o2 sensor out from one of the cats, and then I tore off a massive piece of skin off one of my other fingers doing something I forget, and that was after I wacked myself in the head twice with a wrench.. suuuuucked!
