I would like suggestions as what to be doing to plan for retirement. I have some idea's as what I need to do. I would like to hear from others that have retired from working regular jobs etc.

Thanks

I think in general, even with the very different nature of your work, most of the same guidelines should hold true. A big question up front is this :

Are you retiring from this career to pursue another career, or retiring to get out of the workforce?

That's a big first step because it determines if you need to be planning for no new income, or planning on changes in your income.

Well before I make final decisions I need to make sure I have some things in place so I don't fall on my face and end up coming back here.

I will hopefully soon have my disability, but as some know that's not much at all to live on.

THT, If you would just move down here, I am sure there would be enough Hobbyist that would help you, to suppliment your disability.

I've done very well in the DFW area most time's I have been down. It's just to expensive to move and live down there with my 14 horses(new one just born 2 days ago) and donkey, plus my dogs etc.

My rent for a 2bdrm on 20 acres is only 400 a month, then all my other bills still add's up to A LOT less than most rent around DFW.

If I could bring myself to share a incall with someone I'd be down on a regular basis but I'm much more private and prefer not many knowing any of my business.

Hugs, kisses, licks and nibbles...
