Re:
I dont know but to live here decently you need a retirement fund and a pension, and I am in one of the most expensive states. I wanted a place of my own before I retired as I didnt want to rent any longer, so of course its more expensive but as I get older and my kids do to I will move into a cheaper place

I pass on this one. It is so difficult to advise people on financial issues especially when they live in a different country. In my country people get by even though they only have a state pension. Perhaps this does not apply to pensioners in the U.S.A.

I'd make those kids swimnow and pay you proper board help you for a
change but you knew I would say that didn'tyou darling. Look my beloved Wendy was going to live forever and she has been gone for almost 4 years, So guess who is spending her money now. Stop work and just have faith in your annuity and your writing.

Lustorlove - I don't know how the system works there but if you can work..why not. It will keep you occupied and stop you thinking of what will happen in 15-20 years...like dying??

I myself would work for now. Another thing to take into account as well is that you may find something else worth doing.

You have to live in the now. Not that I would advocate blowing every last penny, but use what you need now and let the future look after itself. IMHO!

Re: Re:
I guess I tend toward live for today and let tomorrow take care of itself--as long as one doesn't go overboard on that and use it up in riotous living.

I face a lot of those same thoughts for myself and for my own situation. I have no idea what choices you should make for you. I do know that anxiety about the situation doesn't help one whit and that sometimes advice from someone else is the worst thing of all. Most of all, I know that I haven't helped you out one iota. Good luck in doing it right for you.
