We have debt, and we are whittling it down at a nice pace. I write that and it’s true, all things considered. But sometimes I just want it to go faster. And I am tired of thinking that way.
A guy down the street from me just passed away. He was 91 years old. I didn’t really know him.
I have put a lot of energy lately into thinking about our future. Trying to get us on track for retirement and reduce our debt.
But, you know what? Sometimes I think I’ve tipped the scale too much. We went from being ultra-spenders to ultra-savers. Although we are taking a $1000+ vacation this year and we did go out to see a movie yesterday.
But then I think about my neighbor and the possibility of having 60 years left.
I tell myself: be patient, John. Be patient. Enjoy life.
And get off the computer!
