Blessed to have two guaranteed pensions plus we have always lived well below our means. We have saved like crazy. Top that off...our stocks have actually gained a little. Husband has handed in his retirement for the end of this 2009. They are begging him to stay but no way as he loves the Villages. Our first home and his job is where it is very cold and snowy.
We both have enough degrees that we can pick up spending change when we need too. Schools beg me to teach down here as I have a masters plus 60 hours with a straight 4.00 in grad work from NY (just from hard work). I have done a few jobs for the charter school in the Villages. I am very blessed.
You never really know about the future...
