State Of Our Union

August 28th, 2008 at 06:54 pm


Nope, 'twas well before our time!


Hubster has had his 62nd birthday this year and we are checking our facts and figures here. Upcoming work at his job is looking slim. Could we make the jump to full time retirement?

Yesterday I worked on updating our Net Worth Statement for August and things are looking UP! He was pleasantly surprised and had drastically under-estimated what we had so that was a nice bump up for him while he's worrying what his employer is doing.

Yes, you know me and my money tucked here and there style, while I slip him little pieces of paper every now and again and say we've got $XXX,XXX.00 amount of dollars here in this account and $X,XXX.00 here - it had been some time since I had given him the entire BIG picture.

He thinks he'd like to just stay employed and eventually just go to working part time where he's at. Hopefully more work will flow through the pipeline and be scheduled for when they run out of what's currently on tap.

But meanwhile back at the house even if he decided to take early Social Security we wouldn't go too hungry. We wouldn't be living the life of the Astor's but still we'd do okay.

Life's good! Carry on dancing!

    Let him keep working if the purpose is more self-worth than bank worth. I find part time professional work is ideal (even though I am 20 years before retirement age). There's time for personal endeavor, as well a money for comfortable living.

    (part time is necessary cause 2 kids are young)

    Would be nice to get that mortgage out of the way before the plunge -

    Getting a mortgage paid off would be of utmost importance to me before retirement.

    My husband also wants to work parttime when retired. Good luck on your decision.
