retire

I want to retire by the time I am 55 years old

So, we can get on with exploration.

I want to retire in ten years.

I would really like to do this,

According to an online retirement estimator calculator,

I need $1,102,420 :-)
to retire in twenty years,

I think I need a Nanna nap now,

I set up a countdown to June 17 on my cell phone—I am 213 days, 5 hours, and 43 minutes away. I don’t really feel anxious about retiring or wish that the time between now and then would hurry up because I am enjoying my last of 34 years of teaching.

Retire before I reach age 60.

Looks like it’s all worked out & within a couple of weeks we’ll be in a position to make an offer on that farm we loved… Now I’m having second thoughts… I always do this, want something then panic when I get it, then want it, then panic… On & on it goes until I’m finally ready to make a decision…

Hubby isn’t being very supportive because he’s already decided what he wants to do, and he doesn’t waffle once he decides… Me, I go in circles until I’m sure…

I know the panic will pass, but right now I’m terrified…

hopefully within the next few years… Hubby & I both came from farm towns & want to move back to one… We’ve been checking out small horse farms near where we live now & have found one we LOVE…

We went to see it again today & I tossed out a prayer/intention… If it’s meant to be, it’ll be easy for us to nudge circumstances in that direction… If we meet with too much resistance, then I guess it isn’t meant to be, and we’ll find another place to love…

It IS beautiful, though… The screened porch overlooking a steep wooded hillside is just where I want to rock with hubby when we’re too old to do much else… :)

I thought the bluebird that flew by as we were sitting on the porch was a very good sign…

haha

Target date: June 17, 2009
