I was infected with HIV/AIDS in 2008, i went to many hospitals for cure but there was no solution, so I was thinking how can I get a solution, so that my body can be okay. until this faithful day as i was browsing the net I saw a testimony on how Dr.SAYO helped people in curing HIV Disease, quickly I copied his Email which is sayoherbalhealer@gmail.com so i contacted him for solution for my HIV, so Dr.SAYO told me that his going to prepare herbal medicine for my health, then he prepared the medicine and luckily after two week my Hiv/Aids was be cured. Dr SAYO is well recognize as one of the best herbalist doctor in Africa, you don't have to be sad anymore or share your tears anymore on this disease when the cure have already be found by Dr.SAYO herbal medicine, he so cure HERPES,CANCER, ALS,HEPATITIS B, DIABETIC check his FB page: https://www.facebook.com/Sayo-Herbal-Healer-100145798345000/ OR visit his websites website; http://sayoherbalhealer.website2.me/ check blog: https://sayoherbalhealer.blogspot.com/ roma evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03390715190709205959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483783877001480180.post-89208316250981302672019-09-11T15:45:58.534-06:002019-09-11T15:45:58.534-06:00Not trying to be conflicting here but I am so luck...Not trying to be conflicting here but I am so lucky that in my retirement I am in my own paid for home in the Midwest (fairly low cost of living area) and from what I've read you've been able to find family owned then shared housing. (Not being critical here but that hoping that helps you also) that even with a retirement of high 30's to 40's or maybe even more the cost of housing is insurmountable to some. We all know some cities/areas where safe (not moldy, bug infected, crime ridden areas) would not be affordable on that income. Would you find a one bedroom safe apartment out of your range in your area? Moving and a travel trailer is sometimes not an option. Cutting food, clothing and outings possibly would still not get some retirees the ability to be able to "make it". I really count my blessings.

My friend and I went to the calendar to pick another day. The next 3-4 weekends were taken up with one thing and another between the two of us. Then it hit me - what about Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri? We laughed and laughed. That's when we really knew we were retired. I'm 6 years into retirement; the slow mornings and uninterrupted time never get old.

It's been 6 years now. I spend much less money than I did when I worked. I used to shop at Chico's, have manicures,pedicures, and massages.I had housekeepers (waaay too tired, after 2 jobs, to clean!) ..Now, I have enuf clothes to last the rest of my life, but I still have a clotheshorse mentality,so I shop at consignment stores when I HAVE TO fill the urge. We downsized the house. I buy drugstore makeup, not Nordstroms. I have a $25 haircutter and I use L'Oreal at home for color.No fancy stylists for me! I splurge on what's important to us: Good groceries, since I cook at home almost all the time, we only go out to a bargain lunch once every week or two. Trips: We do an exotic trip every other year, it seems.. we've saved up for it.But in between we visit small Az. towns within driving distance and have a ball! I use my HOME for entertainment, to swim in the pool, home brewed coffee on patio, girlfriends over for cards or happy hour.. pretty inexpensive and fun. We also volunteer in areas we feel drawn. That's fun as well as helpful to others. So, I don't need to work anymore!!! Slowing down a bit, savoring, re organizing so you can relax and enjoy retirement.. it's all worth it!! Tomorrow: A free concert at our local center for the arts, a mexican dinner at home first ( i love to cook!!) and a visit through the art gallery adjacent to the arts center (free.)There is SO MUCH out there to enjoy when you have the time- -for very little $$ .Madeline Kasianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01322242227493558613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483783877001480180.post-21770997036145905202019-09-05T14:29:15.610-06:002019-09-05T14:29:15.610-06:00I agree with this post.

Now if I were to win a lottery...that would be okay. But financially I'm okay and once the house is sold, I'll move to something smaller that will cost even less. <br /><br />I keep telling people, I highly recommend retirement!Maebemehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706540456819503068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483783877001480180.post-67980069440585410002019-09-05T10:37:44.445-06:002019-09-05T10:37:44.445-06:00And yes, when I do work,or even when I take survey...And yes, when I do work,or even when I take surveys for money, that is always for the extra stuff-never for the basics.

But now that I'm in it, I wouldn't give it up to go back to work. Like you, I'd downsize to living in a travel trailer before I'd seek job if money because an real issue. Besides, there's no security in working at our age.
