Blows my mind and actually makes me concerned, since we save quite a bit at our house. I was a spender when I was younger but at some point you have to start saving and planning for the future.

I sent 3 kids to out of state college and paid every dime. We often lived paycheck to paycheck. I retired at 55 and live very comfortably. Every now and then i work a little and get a check. 17 minutes ago, Edmo said: I was a spender when I was younger but at some point you have to start saving and planning for the future.

Edmo Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Those of you who feel you don’t pay enough in taxes can move to Illinois or Cali. They’ll take care of that need for you. It’s just paradise in those places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
