Hi guys, I'm from the old SLN boards. It's been a few years! Glad to have found this new place, but I must say it sure isn't as active as the old boards and seems to have taken a different direction...
Well, DH and I worked very hard to get all of our debt paid off the last 10 years. We were recently able to retire with absolutely no debt. Sold our house and bought a tiny little cabin on the lake, which has always been our dream. Even have our own boat dock, so we are out on the lake frequently in our little boat. It's very woodsy here which we love, but there is a small clearing on the side of the cabin where we put in a raised bed garden. It is producing well! We had to get rid of more than 3/4 of our possessions to live here in this tiny 2 bedroom cabin, about 650 square feet, but we love it here. It's nice living with just what we need and no more. Feel like we are finally living the simple life! No more rat race, traffic, and bills. Our kids are all grown adults now and we're done paying for college too! :) Loving the empty nest, but so happy when the kids visit! Our sweet dog, Molly, and our 2 cats, Finn and Jesse keep us company these days. Glad we're young and healthy enough to enjoy our retirement too. Retired at 55!!! :)
Glad to see you all again!
