Takeaway
Most people think of retirement as a period of “withdrawing oneself,” but when you’re withdrawing somewhere sunny and warm, by the beach or near a lake, retirement suddenly seems a whole lot better. It’s like being on a permanent vacation. Sure, a waterfront home might not be suitable for everyone’s budget, especially if you’re living on a fixed income in retirement, but it’s not impossible to find affordable places that meet your needs, financially and otherwise.
I JOINED USA NAVY IN 1964 TO AVOID THE ARMY DRAFT.
I ATTENDED ELECTRICIAN SCHOOL AND WENT TO AN
AIRCRAFT CARRIER IN SAN DIEGO. WE MADE 2 TRIPS TO
VIET NAM. OUR SHIP HAD 3,500 MEN ABORD; I WAS PROMOTED
TO E-4 ELECTRICIANS MATE. I DO NOT REGRET ANY DECIONS
THAT I MADE IN MY LIFE. MY WIFE AND I ARE MARRIED 50
YEARS NOW. PRAISE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. I AM SURE
THAT EVERYONE AGREES…AMEN.
