Grandpa, with an 8th grade education, partnered in a mechanical engineering business and was able to retire at 45 yrs old. He was 40 years retired and died at age 85.
My outlook is the opposite. I have a 2 yr college degree, am back to only earning enough to survive, and expect to be forced into retirement by my employer because I will never be able to AFFORD to retire.
So, where are you in your life? Just starting out with the "world as your oyster", middle aged plugging along, or on the retirement rollar coaster? Did you ever see life would be this way, or have you been able to plan well all along.
My hat's off to those who have done well. I'd like to hear some good stories, for a change. Make me feel better.
Thanks! 071007 8:50
