We live in the house we will retire in. Wife is 63 and works part time and takes her SS. She is laid off right now. I took a part time school based job as a business manager for a small private school 25 hours a week with full benefits. I'm 57. A type 1 diabetes diagnosis a few years back put me on a path to need health care until I'm 65 so my plan of working to 60 and quitting got cancelled. I don't make much money and am way over qualified but the stress is nil and I have a lot of free time. My shop is built. I ride bikes, walk the dogs a lot, do yoga and piddle on cars. Kids and grandkids will get more of our time in the future. The ones who are local get plenty now. Life is good. I could age 20+ years doing exactly what I'm doing, maybe work less, and I'll be happy. My wife wants to take a couple of trips to Europe if we have the $'s before we are too old to enjoy it. Other than that, no big travel fantasies.
