This is about true too!
I'm allowed to retire at 55 and according to the calculators I will be fully broke by 75. It'll be a good run! lol!
Guess it's time to start cramming as much as I can into the IRA and pay off the house!
I got 20 years till I'm 55, but seriously, I wanna do a lotta boating at that point!
I actually want to try other jobs when I retire. I would love to try being a waiter at some little dockside restaurant or something, I would love to try rentals (partially to offset the retirement need), and a few other things that would make that 55 retirement fun but financially possible.

Heck, I just need to get my kids out of the house!!! :rolleyes:
(I mean, why can't 3 teenagers and a 10 year old find a place of their own right? )

Oldest one (17, a Sr. and accepted into MSU's Honors Program) just spent a weekend at Michigan State. She has decided to change her field of study from Criminal Psychology to Aerospace Engineering. She wants to do Electrical Engineering too.

So apparently the problem wasn't a lack of interest in Engineering, the problem was she doesn't want to be restricted to just one field of engineering like the rest of us dummies. :D

You gotta be shittin me with that price, it's a cracked piece of pine, not even suitable for my woodstove. Back when we were in the cheese industry I would make demonstrative cutting blocks for events, similar to this one, but this one cracked so it did not make the cut, for finishing and showing one of our cheeses. It is sugar maple and has tap marks, healed over from many years ago. Conversation starter.

@itsdgm I'll go halvsies with you.
Halvsies? One swing with this Fiskars tool, 20180207_064855.jpg will do, for that piece of firewood. $350??? Man i am doing it all wrong. You guys got me all riled up before I have had my morning coffee. Oh, btw, this axe is the best splitting axe i have ever used. I split 15 cords a year with it and a little help from this.
