Since last year's economic catastrophe I have watched our family financial situation go down and start climbing back up. Important, we both continue to work, we both continue to repay loans and bills as due, we both are living quiet little old lives. We have health insurance and my wife is on Medicare. So this morning, after paying the bills I reconciled the checking account, put in the quarterly statements from the IRAs and ran the numbers after I learned how to do something I should have done long ago. I use Quicken for my stuff, but they keep changing the software and I don't play with it enough. Anyway, things are getting better and I have my wife's support for retiring as soon as I have the mortgage paid off.... where are those winning Lotto tickets?
I don't really need them, I just need a few more years beyond three score and ten, but even if I had only that I would be so close. She might be right, we should have a yard sale every weekend in the Summer until all the excess is gone --- plan, I move everything out for the sale, get my guns and go shooting all day, and come back and move whatever is left back into the house.
