Easy does it @TAB

Glad you have some work coming up, but its good to plan medium term too.

At least check out options.

yes, I woke up 3.30am thinking about that @Appleblossom lol re options in case i get past survival lol

How are you today?

Just wanting to be quiet at home. Gad there is no choir practise.

Not too bad.

Bloomin survival was all there was, for most of me life ... Thinking ahead has only happened recently since I got on the forum.... before family things flared up again. Now I am taking on Being a Survivor as an attitude.

@TAB

fair enough re 'owning it' @Appleblossom I'd like to get on top of health issues here and not to have to worry about how to pay bills

not up to anything much today, walked 30 mins, went to servo got a coffee and put air in tyres, had a big burst of cleaning cat pee stains off car and inside of windscreen re plastic fumes, had food shop, put rubbish in bins, tidied up, gave bath tub a quick once over, did dishes, did washing, collected mail, did a form for centerlink now feeling a bit off and going to rest

You've earned it @TAB

was a bit of a list I guess . prob just normal for lots of people. I guess its remarkable when I do anything lol @Appleblossom

Its natural & normal to make a list about your retirement @TAB

There are essentials ... and

What would be nice but not necessary

The more you think through things the more likely some of it may happen

DO you need a dog, a garden, a view, 2 garages, public transport

poss public transport @Appleblossom poss city re hospitals dont know didnt realise it was retirement planning. def not 2 garages lol well or dog cos no one to look after it if go o/s

I just threw in the 2 garages cos they are always upping the standards. Finding a place with one bathroom and one garage is not as easy as it used to be.

Maybe semi retirement ... a job when ya got one and a rest when ya dont

sorta what am doing now except expense too high and income too low @Appleblossom can access part of super in 18mths ish thru transition to retirement. govt housing also a goal but have to be broke when apply and when get in, well not broke but have very low income, def cant get it this year even tho havent 3-4mths this fyr anyhoo food for thought.
