I guess it's an "American" thing...bragging about retirement. Some of us did not work for bureaucrats and struggled with work. Henceforth, did not get a HUGE retirement package or was ever offered an early one. Sooooooo, we all have to continue working the rest of our breathing days.

I'd love to be able to volunteer, but oh well. That's my life and I"m living it the best that I know how. Thankfully my DH and I have created something that we enjoy immensely!
