I posted on your thread (((Cat)))! I am thinking of retirement as well, even though I haven’t even started back to work yet. In two years I am going to start getting my CPP, though it won’t be enough to live on, as I’ve been self-employed for many years, so I didn’t contribute those years. I’m not going to worry about how I’m going to live in retirement as I always have my money or equity in the condo I’m going to buy to fall back on. So much can happen in the next 7 years so why worry now!! I feel like I’ve been retired in the past decade not having been employed outside my home. Today I am going to do a little cleaning in my place and some laundry and then I am going to go shopping for clothes and groceries and maybe to Petland and buy my "boys" a couple of toys. Time fillers I call them! I can’t get out there and do a lot of walking as my foot is still injured. I want to buy work shoes and winter boots but I have to wait till the swelling in my foot is almost gone. I’m so glad that I don’t have to be concerned about anything regarding the renters and that house. That life I lived in the country seems to have been so long ago. I don’t miss anything about the country other than my two young granddaughters. The littlest one is having a sleepover at my place on Wednesday as my daughter and her friends are participating in a run out of town. My decision to leave my marriage and to move away was the right decision for me. I wish I could go on a holiday before I start working. It’s a little more complicated now with two cats, but my granddaughter could live here while I was gone. Carole
