Didn’t know retirement had a 1, 5 or 10 year plan…I was hoping for a 30-35 year plan. Stay healthy, wear a mask around folk and wash your hands. That’s my plan.
I still never know what to say for that stupid question “Where do you want to be in 5 years.” I really just want to still be here and have enough money in the bank to go fishing once in a while.
While in my twenties, as I interviewed for a management position, I underwent a battery of test, and whatever they call it, THOSE questions. It went from 5 years, to 10 to 20, Of course for 5 & 10 I told them what they wanted to hear. When it came to 20, I said “married”. The interviewer ( the head of personnel), asked if I was engaged, I said, “No, but I’ll be in my 40’s then, and might not have anything better to do.” That came back to me as I was wed at age 42.
We used to talk about visions for those periods – where do you want to be in 1, 5, 10years. (to inspire students to think ahead… a challenging task)… now, for me, it’s the same vision:still be alive.
I think it is hilarious that I am forced to attend “financial planning meetings” where I am advised by a twenty-year-old to save 20% of my income for forty years. I’m retiring next year.

Add some pearl onions, peas, and maybe some of those Lil Smokies and we’ll talk.

The tike is already speaking the communist lingo; he probably goes to a government ‘educational’ facility.

Instead of a tablespoon of margarine put in the same amount of Cheez-Whiz, fewer calories, less fat and extra flavor.
