Damn, did I ever fuck up on career day, but I think I'll be ok unless my wife ever shit cans me. I won't have enough left in me to scratch my way back again. Your life is ten times better than mine.

You have a good heart bacon. We’re all different and each brings something special to the party. As my old dad would say, “you’re a genuine real character and one of your gifts is keeping things interesting and fun”. There are some out there that have no personality. You’re not one of them.

Also as mentioned before, pay off all your fricking debt as soon as you can. Best feeling I ever had after holding my daughter the first time, was paying off the house. God willing, and if we have no major illnesses. The truck is mine in 6 weeks and I think the house in 30 mos +/- Not retired. We have some years left (unless we’re forced retired)

The worst thing learned by a lot of people I know was how to sign their name. They have the best of everything but they're hopelessly in debt beyond their wildest dreams. I retired at 60, will be a resident of Florida for a year in July. A lot of people I know have concluded that they'll work until they're looking up at dirt because that's the only way out. It took me one day to get used to being retired, my job was stress filled and came with a lot of responsibility.

I have no real debt other than my very modest house. When I father passes I will make an offer to buy his house to my brother and sister. I don't see my sister much caring but my brother will probably say it's worth more. If they were to accept my price then I'd offer my daughters and their husband's first dibs on my house for a deal. If neither of them want it I'll sell it for whatever I can get out of it. Which would be more than the daughters could have gotten it for. Although I may end up divorced at that point I'd buy 5 or 6 acres in BFE and buy a couple of shipping crates and live happily ever after

I was told that the best retirement plan was to die with just enough money in your checking account to pay for your burial and the check you wrote to the IRS bounces. 👍

They let you keep enough to bury you. Use to be $8k. Should of went up by now needs to be $12k at least.

I think $1,500 in Albany for a cremation. I don't want to be cremated. We've already bought our burial plots.

I'm going to be burned too. That way my kids will be able to take me wherever they go and never have to visit a grave to say hello. I never see anyone at grave sites anyway. Fuck it.
