to retire for 1 week!!!!!!
Ok -- I'm secretly pleased as punch with my self but the big picture is a little daunting.
But that's just a lot of water
Underneath a bridge I burned
And there's no use in backtracking

Make it the week they set the clocks back. It's like getting a raise.

Digging up bodies in hopes of finding retirement money is kinda creepy hexed...

I try not to think that I won't start working until I'm 45. I should be able to save quickly, though.

Best thing I ever did was start my own retirement account. I started it when I went back to work after my sons were in school. I didn't put a lot in it at first, but I kept plugging away.
Then when I got D, I told XWH that we should both keep our individual retirement accounts. He readily agreed because he didn't realize I had more in mine than he did in his. I did my homework!
Good for you hexed - you will get there!
