[QUOTE="qdg2, post: 5513329, member: 100309"] With all respect.... Thread title says fighting the high cost of retirement. Maybe it should have said "Fighting the high cost of retirement.....with no money." IDK, clear it up for us.....yes us. I don't think anyone reading this thread is confused about "what you are trying to do". My "clues": Myriad of health problems making work like you used to do impossible or something like that. You tried alternative work and didn't like it and quit. Your pension is being curtailed and you will be broke in the near future. Your future looks bleak financially. Don't necessarily hate your wife but her kid(same result). All this so much so, you won't live with her but choose to live with your Dad at 60? All of this leading to buying a PRIUS for ffs and a tiny rolling bed. To live in! in State parks or so..... And you just declared that you worked all your life to end up exactly like this(see above). "To have the freedom....." Now, please......tell me what I don't understand. BTW, you took a shot at my "possessions and stuff". Which I worked all my life to have the freedom to have and use too. But my idea of freedom isn't a Prius, a cot and a public shower. That sounds like a dystopian future to me. IDK man.........except the Fed Ex/UPS connection........we have absolutely nothing in common. [/QUOTE]
