[targa911S]

I'm with you. I retired at 55, 3 years ago now. I play music now "full time", take commissions on restorations on antique shotguns, sell at flea markets and on ebay and hang out with my wife of 27 years who is also retired. Fixed income is stressful at times but no where near the stress levels at my old job of 25 years. I did subscribe to the values my parents instilled in me with regard to money. We sold our home in FL when real estate was hot and made enough to pay cash for a 2,000 sf home on 2 acres here in PA. Cost of living is a lot cheaper, but the trade off is cold weather. We live modestly but comfortably. I sold my 911S to a European collector for a good sum that I still have tucked away. I miss the car but it is a nice cushion to have. 5 more years and I get social security and my annuities start to pay me. I'll buy another 911 then. Until then I just go places and stand on escalators.
