We don't drive luxury cars or wear designer clothes or anything. We
have traveled a lot, but we've also invested and saved. Our income
has always exceeded our outgo. Frequently substantially.

Now we're retired and we're financially secure. We may be rewarded in
Heaven, but we're going to live it up in retirement first.


I am happy things worked out well for you. Personally, I think it doesn't
make a lot of sense to wait until retirement to "live it up". You may never
get there and if you do you may be too old or sick to do some of the things
you wanted to do when you were younger. Who wants to work for 60 years
to have 10 years of fun?


This isn't directly at you personally, Marilyn. You did say that you
traveled a lot, which is indeed a luxury.
