Hopefully, you will, like me, discover that you don't have to count sheets of toilet paper, and hopefully, you will discover that sooner than I did.
A buddy of mine that covered personal finance said retirement is described as "Go Go, Go Slow and then No Go". Need to keep in mind that the older you get, the less you will need.
Health is a greater issue than money.

Great to hear that Donna. I believe that you will find out that retirement is NOT over-rated one bit! Now Ten Forward can finally be on the road as much as it wants to be.

THANKS so much everyone, truly. WHY does everyone start working (in their 20s?) and worry about the future? My 91 y/o mother (bless her) has often told me.. you can ALWAYS make more money... but you can NEVER make more time. It has taken me 63 years to realize... my Mom is one smart lady.
Wishing you ALL well, and a whole lot of time... for those memory makers!

Congrats on the retirement. And I hear that one of the new options ETI is going to offer is an automatic cleaning/waxing exterior and self cleaning interior, although the technical details are still under wraps.

I'll bet it means just more time to start new threads and do more postings.
Best wishes!

You guys are the BEST Today kinda happened, one business buying another and I was "redundant." Right now I'm one happy gal, tomorrow when reality sets in... maybe my hair will be on fire. But I think everything will be good, truly. I believe things happen for a reason. So, while this has happened 23 months before I PLANNED. It's all good...and YAY... I thought I couldn't attend the ETI rally this year because I couldn't take vacation. GUESS WHAT?!

Pretty soon you will wake up in the morning and wonder what day it is.
If it is raining, you might choose to roll over and go back to sleep. If sun is streaming through the window, you might choose to brew some coffee and watch the birds wake up.
It will be your choice.
I'm getting really good at naps.
