[QUOTE="rod, post: 5243542, member: 5382"] I do make over $120k a year now. I didn't when I first retired but I had invested enough and paid off all debt by then so I didn't need tons of money to "make it". If you can't do the same thing in 30-35 years don't blame anyone but yourself. My "retirement jobs' have consisted of (when I felt like it) sitting at home watching TV at night assembling fishing tackle for a friend who owned a tackle manufacturing business. My next one was flying in a little Cessna 172 for 7 1/2 hours a day-4 days a week during the spring and fall "fire season" for the DNR looking for smoke which would lead to a forest fire. Lots of low level roller coaster type of flying which I love. (we also looked for wolves ,deer, bear and girls tanning on the docks on the lakes. ---- I also worked for the Township for 14 years as a "do it when I wanted to handman. Mowing- pushing a little snow- etc. I had only ONE work directive a year that they insisted on being done on time. The Township Cemetery had to be looking good for Memorial day otherwise I worked when I wanted to ( 20 bucks an hour).
