Retirement…..
Aah, I remember how excited my parents were when they retired. They had worked all their adult lives so that they could live a life of relaxation without the routine. My parents had saved for their future, and they had a plan to reach their desired goals.
Lake Murray, Columbia, SC
What did they do? They sold their house in Central New Jersey, and they moved to Florida. They purchased a smaller home for which they paid cash so as to avoid a mortgage payment. They lived in comfort until the end of their days.
That’s what Mark and I want…. and MORE!
When we retire, we’d like to:
- Move out of New Jersey
- Live somewhere with a warmer climate
- Purchase a smaller home (most likely a condominium)
- Purchase a Boat (cruiser that we can travel on comfortably)
- Be debt-free
- Save more money and increase our retirement funds
- Live comfortably, happily, and healthily.

I know that obstacles will stand before us, but if we push forward, we can achieve our retirement goals. It will take some hard work, sacrifice, and good planning, but I do believe that we can be free to live our … American Dream.
