My plans are a bit in flux right now. I had originally planned to retire at 67. Finley started to change that calculation… Especially since when Luke was born, we weren’t in a position for siblings… With Finley we are, and we are in the midst of deciding whether we are going to pursue that or just bot actively prevent it. If we do have another, I can’t retire with a child still in HS…
However, business has been extremely good right now, and if it continues for the next 2-3 years in that vein we may reconsider again…
Want to hear God laugh? Tell him your plans.
At any moment, we're always one step away from having life change dramatically. So plan well, but always have Plan B and preferrably Plan C. And then sometimes, you just have to roll with the flow.

In Christmas 2007 we were shopping for towns in Mexico to move to. The plan was very early retirement in Mexico.
Four months later I got my diagnosis and realized I’d need to be in the states for the rest of my life for medical care.

Married men live longer.
Yeah, but if you're married, do you want to?

Do you know why husbands die before their wives?
They WANT to...

@improviso and the reason divorce is so expensive?
It’s worth it

As for me I’m working my ass off.
But what the hell, at the hospital every morning at 7. Home sometimes late. Never before 5. Occasional night call but now very rarely.
Meetings. Clinics. Operations.
Pre covid I spoiled myself with nice vacations but that’s sort of gone by the wayside.
Although planning maybe a several week road trip in the US this summer. Still tentative.

Then there was the guy who asked his wife what she wanted for her birthday. She said “I want a divorce”. He said “I wasn’t thinking of spending that much.”

My wife asked me to take her someplace expensive.
So I took her to the gas station.
We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on. -

Mike White gave a great performance against the Bengals. Third string, practice squad guy. Of course he also has an O line that gave him time to work

Been retired for 13+ years. Had a bump in the road in 2012, but shed the 200 pounds of dead weight and been smooth sailing ever since.
She's still chasing a married man, going on ten years now. Still doesn't get that men who cheat on their wives for 10 years don't marry their mistresses. Damn shame too. They deserve each other.

I always thought she was garbage. If it makes you feel better. Maybe it makes me feel better to say that.

Been fully retired now going on more than a year and a half. As far as I’m concerned retirement is highly underrated.
Never bored, too busy.

Kudo to everyone on this thread!!

Really? Was your son already born at the time? Why Mexico?

He wasn’t born until 2009. Back in 07 we hadn’t even decided to have one yet, and it seemed like we wouldn’t.
I like Mexico, lived there 2 years in the 90s.
