Ya’ll are living a bit like we are, sounds like. Husband is almost 68, me 65. Drawing a little bit of SS, he is still keeping busy doing the same work he did before retiring, just not officially in business now; but they won’t let him totally quit. He works at a home office here, has to go on the road a bit; just enough to do to keep interested and have a bit extra. We grow our own organic garden, drive an older car and keep it repaired, live well and thank the Lord for what we do have each day. My motto now is “simplify, simplify, simplify”. We still go to town too often, I guess, eat out at cheap places pretty often, shop Walmart probably too much, dress simple, etc.
I wish that I had started this type of lifestyle simplification 30 years ago.
