Oh, before I leave, Robin you reminded me I was having a retirement thought before my boss told me to go home.
Terry is looking at retiring in 3 years. He'll be 60, I'll be 45. I've already started planning by taking these IT courses. I'm hoping I can find something I can do on the computer that doesn't require going to the office everyday. That way I can work from wherever we're at. It will require a big investment because we'll have to get satellite dish for high speed internet access, but it'll be worth it if I can actually make money doing something on the computer, online.
Terry signed up for this thing called Workamper News. There are all these campgrounds all over the country that'll give you a full-hook up site for free if you just work 20 hours a week for them. Most will even pay you a salary or hourly rate if you work more than 20 hours, so we've been looking into that too. I mean really, 20 hours a week is nothing! And I won't have to sit in a cave all day long like I do now. There is a campground in Malibu Beach looking for a couple to work - Terry says let's go!
So anyway, I guess what all this means, what I'm trying to say is we won't necessarily be "retiring," just changing careers.
We already know whatever we're going to do it's going to be in the motorhome, we just gotta figure out a way to make a little money while bombing around the country. And the beauty of it is we won't need a lot of money. So I told him if all else fails, we pull in some place and park it for a month and work at McDonalds just to put some cash in our pockets. I've got experience at McD's, so they'd hire me in an instant! He's going to deliver car parts and I'm going to deliver flowers - how bad can it be?
Ok, now I'm off to class.
