April Fools Day.

[Water Warrior 2]

This is not, repeat "not" a joke. Seven years ago today was my last day of work. Retirement was hard earned as most will agree. Would I ever go back to work? NEVER. But I did do some vacation coverage here a year after retiring and made some nice travelling money. Other than that I wonder how I survived all those years. Thankfully I had an employer with a decent pension plan and the money was wisely invested. For all the young and old alike, it is never too late to invest and it will never be too early to invest. No amount is too small and no amount is too large. I have friends here who are retired and spend $100,000 travelling every year. Also friends who are 65+ and still working to make ends meet. Quite a reality check.
I am very fortunate and count my Blessings everyday. Life is good for an old guy who is retired and 67 years young.
