Chrystal and I are working on it Gary, but we are still at least 9 years or so if away if everything works out. We are dumping as much as possible into our portfolio and God willing we should be able to have our coach paid off by mid-2015 sometime so there is a bunch more each month going in.
Chrystal and I think about retirement a lot but on the flip side, don't want to wish our lives away. We look forward to it but are grateful we are able to do so much traveling now.
We just wish we could see our many friends more frequently at these rallies and gatherings.
Mike.

This is a very good view point. Look forward to the future, but enjoy the present. This will keep you level headed to make good decisions.

Mike, this is a very healthy attitude and reflects how Jerry and I felt during our working years. We were so fortunate to be able to combine work with pleasure and traveled to all the continents except Antarctica. We also made the best of those free weekends and went whenever and wherever we could. That's why we got our first motorhome in 1972 and have had one continually since then. Sometimes it sat in the driveway for months and once for an entire year because we didn't have time to use it, but we got back to it as soon as we could.
We went on our first cruise about 1970 and met a lovely older lady who was traveling with her niece. It seems she and her husband had dreamed of taking a cruise when he retired. Well, he retired and died a few months later. She brought her niece in his place. Her comment to us was "You're smart to enjoy your traveling now while you're young enough to enjoy it; we waited too long." Such a shame to dream and never fulfill it!

Thanks Ardra, that is good advice.
I remember when Chrystal and I were waffling on the purchase of our second motorhome. It was our first DP and quite a step up in cost from our first one. We had been looking off and on for about six months and were really uncertain about it. While we were sitting there contemplating it we looked on the wall behind the guys desk where we were sitting and he had a plaque with a saying on it that really hit both of us hard. It said "If you have waited until retirement to enjoy life, you have waited too long".
We have tried to be conservative in our life together but continually reflect back on that afternoon and that plaque that said it all. My dad was one of those people who worked his entire life and when it was time for him to enjoy his retirement, never made it.
Mike.
