A friend asked us yesterday if we had plans for when our place becomes too much work. (Frankly, every place we've lived in had too much work!) Would we do condo living? Small home living? Who knows...I do know that I don't need a ton of stuff to own, maintain, or pay for. I'm not adverse to leaving a ton of crap for my kids to go through after I'm in heaven however. Payback for leaving all their crap when they moved out. yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-15923639902647434892018-01-29T19:06:23.620-05:002018-01-29T19:06:23.620-05:00Yes, what you have done is impressive.

Early on my Dad taught me that one never bought a boat, swimming pool or polo pony -- you just cultivated a friend who all ready had them and wanted to share. I got to enjoy, they were stuck with the maintenance.

I was a sixties flower child, now there wasn't drugs involved, and I was a bath a day type, also I worked from an early age but, I knew that stuff wasn't that important. We bought the modest house from the start and are retired in it today. I should also add, we were seek first the Kingdom of God believers, and yes, we have had some amazing provisions. minghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358377557024956426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-5552982665924457632018-01-29T10:07:54.002-05:002018-01-29T10:07:54.002-05:00It's such a comfy time of life isn't it? ...It's such a comfy time of life isn't it?

It's ironic we spend most of our lives coveting things we can't, for various reasons (money) have, then when the time comes when we CAN have those things, we don't want them anymore. I actually did once upon a time have a large home, and it probably impressed some people, but one day I woke up and said, "this place is a pain in the ass", so I sold it, downsized, and haven't looked back. The single greatest thing about getting older is IMO the ability to be perfectly happy with less.
